Organically certified since 1989, Dominic and Hilda Crampton run one of the longest established organic farms in Ireland and have been an inspiration for many others, especially in the Wicklow area where there are now many organic holdings.They produce an exceptionally wide range of beautiful vegetables and herbs that are bursting with goodness and flavour, and also import carefully selected organic fruit and vegetables to provide all year supply.
Interestingly, they have recently reorganised their land to allow for rewilding in some parts. The 10 hectare farm is divided into habitat areas, forestry, old pasture and a small orchard as well as the vegetable plots. Although smaller, the area used for production is now more manageable so they are able to work it more efficiently with no loss of production.
In addition to selling produce through their own very successful shop, they supply many highly regarded restaurants, both locally and in the greater Dublin area. They participate in organic and other horticultural events too, including Bord Bia's hugely popular show Bloom, held in the Phoenix Park on the June Bank Holiday weekend each year.
