Pictured left is our donkey foal, Zeb, born 27th June 2006. Zeb is a delightful male foal, with unusual striped markings on his legs, which resemble those of a zebra. We’re pleased to report that Zeb, his sister, Chocolate & his Mum, Silver, seem to revel in the attention lavished on them by our guests.
Zeb likes to play chase with his sister and charge through the flocks of crows that land to feed in his field.

Silver, our mare, had another foal, on July 21 2007, the day that the last Harry Potter book was launched. We named her Fleur, after a witch in the book series,

Our guests are welcome to visit the donkeys.

Going Organic
The cottages are built on a working farm, and the process of converting to organic farming methods has begun. We have sheep and cattle ("suckler cows"), for beef production. The conversion process takes two years, and is regulated by The Irish Organic Farmers and Growers Association, (IOFGA). The farm should be fully organic by February 2008. www.iofga.org

Visiting the Farm

Feeding the lambs at Kilmore Cottage working farm

Visiting the farm is a very popular activity here with our guests both young and old. Visitors are welcome to visit the farm by prior arrangement with John & Helen. Lambing season is January to April, and calving season extends from January to May, sometimes a bit later in both cases. You can really enjoy the peace of rural Ireland at Kilmore Cottage.
