MARLHILL OPEN FARM
Best of luck to Pakie & Noreen Fitzgerald & family as they welcome all to their newly opened Marlhill Open Farm. The farm is designed with a young family in mind. They have travelled extensively and visited many family destinations around Ireland and Wales and know what a family needs to have a fun day out!
It’s a place where you can relax and enjoy getting up close and personal with the animals or over having a cuppa in their brand-new café while the children burn off steam. It was great to call over to see the farm over the weekend. I came away with quail eggs for supper. This is a new enterprise and great to have in our parish.
