New Leaf Urban Farmers is an award-winning micro-farm located in Ballyneety, County Limerick. We farm 1.5 acres. Over the last four years we have evolved to a no-till approach which essentially means; we try to minimise soil disturbance outside of planting and harvesting. Although this may seem novel, it is critical to ensuring that our soil life remains as minimally disturbed as is possible.
We use locally sourced composts (without animal manures)from County Limerick as well as making our own. We use no machinery on the farm just hand tools. Although it is more labour intensive, we are given healthy and nutritious vegetables in return.
In 2019, we were awarded the prestigious Eurotoques (craft section) award in recognition of our endeavours. New Leaf Urban Farmers supply leading hotels, restaurants and cafés around the county and country. We also supply the very successful community owned and operated "The Urban Co-op" based in Limerick City. Our produce has a strong reputation for its freshness and flavour.
