Ireland



Ireland is a country that is fortunate to have the Gulf stream bringing warm waters up from the Gulf of
Mexico and this is what explains Ireland’s mild temperate climate.
Our abundant rainfall means we have a longer growing season than anywhere else in
Europe perfect for creating green lush landscapes that nourish our animals.
With its temperate ocean climate, Ireland does not suffer from the excessive temperature fluctuations experienced by other areas at its latitude. Winters are short and mild, summers never too dry or sultry. Our hills and mountains, near most of the coast, create a safe shelter from wind and ocean currents. Under such favorable conditions, livestock is kept indoors from mid-November to mid-March and are free to live outdoors for rest of the year.
Flowing from springs into streams, rivers and finally the ocean, a natural and harmonious cycle guarantees the absolute purity of every drop that falls on our valleys.
Regular rainfall, between 1,000 and 1,400 mm per year (2,000 mm
maximum is found at high elevations), nourishes our land, aiding the growth of lush pastures. Constant monitoring and environmental protection preserves and safeguards the health of all waterways.
As the earth welcomes and nourishes trees, nature nourishes itself in the best possible way. Various studies have shown that a grass-based diet is healthier and more natural for cattle than traditional wheat feed. Meat from grass-fed livestock is rich in vitamin A and carotene with a more balanced distribution of fat, and offers a different texture than other meats. This particular diet even results in meat that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the health and well-being of your heart.
