Ice cream tasting - wow this is good!

Linnalla

Linnalla pure Irish ice cream is hand-produced on the farm of Brid and Roger Fahy in the Burren region of Ireland. They use whole milk and cream from their own herd of Short Horn cows, native to the Burren, to create ice cream free from artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. The farm has traditionally been a dairy yard since the 1800's, and the decision to diversify into ice cream making was only taken recently by Brid and Roger. They are one of the most eco-innovative farms in the Burren region, and while their ice cream business is just starting, prospects look exciting! The pictures in this album are from a recent trip by Eco Innovation members to visit the farm at Linnalla, to chat about their decision to leave behind intensive farming, and to taste some of their unbelievably delicious ice cream! Linnalla is also featured under the Food Quality section of this website, where you can read a summary of the interview with Brid and Roger Fahy.

Burren Presentation

On August 22nd 2006, Eco Innovation interns Priscille Ghesquière and Dorian Fléchet presented the results of their study into farming systems in the Burren, to an audience of local farmers and members of partner organisations. The presentation is available online. The presentation stimulated an evening of intense discussion on the nature of farming in the Burren and the potential for eco-innovations. Here are some photos from the evening.
