Ballylagan Organic Farm

No ordinary farm - Tom Gilbert's farm, near Carrickfergus, was the first in Co Antrim to achieve organic certification from the Soil Association in the early '90s, and then the first in Northern Ireland to have an organic farm outlet - and the shop was officially opened by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, no less, on May 5th, 1999.


It's a one-stop shop, open four days a week (Wed-Sat) and offering an unusually wide range of foods, including imported organic fruit, deli and store cupboard items and even organic toiletries.


But the main aim is to sell their own carefully produced foods - Aberdeen Angus and Dexter beef, native British sheep, Tamworth pork, a variety of poultry and eggs, and home grown vegetables in season; no online sales, but the interesting and exceptionally informative website not only tells you about their own produce and philosophy but also lists products, with prices and special offers, so you can do the homework before shopping - and, while on the site, you'll enjoy reading Tom's 'Irregular Rant'.
