Fat Tomato

Chef and writer Anthony O'Toole started it in 2016 with a single polytunnel and has since built it into one of Ireland's most unusual growing spaces, home to more than 500 heritage and open pollinated varieties of vegetables, fruit, herbs and edible flowers. Everything is chosen for flavour, curiosity and biodiversity rather than yield, and nothing artificial goes into the ground.

At the garden gate there is an honesty farm shop, open seven days a week and stocked by whatever the garden is giving that week. Expect fresh vegetables and herbs, rainbow eggs, potted plants, garden seeds and small batch condiments, ferments and drinks made in the farm kitchen. Cash and card are both taken. The wider range of preserves and heritage seeds is also sold through the online shop, with delivery across Ireland.
