Mad Yolk Farm is a regenerative farm at Knockroe, Craughwell, Co. Galway, with an honesty farm shop selling its own pasture raised eggs, vegetables and raw milk.
Brian Dilleen is a first generation farmer from Galway City who trained in regenerative farming in Sweden with Richard Perkins, then moved his farm to Knockroe, near Craughwell, in 2020.
Laying hens are the heart of it. They live in mobile housing that is moved across pasture so the birds keep regenerating the ground they scratch over, and their eggs are what the farm is known for. Alongside them Brian grows chemical free vegetables in polytunnels and a market garden.
The farm shop is an honesty shop, open from 9am to 9pm every day of the year. It carries the farm's own eggs and seasonal vegetables, raw organic milk from Gleann Bui Farm in Mayo, sourdough from Granum Bakehouse, and goat's cheese, honey, ferments, kombucha, flowers and soap from other local makers. There is also a wood fired sauna, a sensory garden, and space for classes and small retreats.

Inspiring regenerative farm here in county Galway on our door step. I met a friend for a sauna ice bath session and we all really enjoyed it. A lovely social experience. Great sauna facilities. Picked up some local produce in their Farm Shop after.. we had a walk around their farm and wow... absolutely breaktaking.. the quality of produce been grown here is phenomenal. I made an omelet from their eggs when I got home. Huge credit to the founders for creating such a great facility for the community and environment. 100% worth visiting.. easy booking system on their website.
