Love this place. Went on a random Thursday afternoon and it was great.
I absolutely loved this place. It has a self-service setup and a great variety of dairy products. You can enjoy the beautiful outdoor surroundings it’s such a peaceful and charming environment. There are chickens, cows, birds, and even a lovely natural spring when you walk in. It’s truly a beautiful place that’s worth visiting, and the quality of the products is excellent. The muffins are delicious and very wholesome. I would definitely come back!
Our homeschool group’s visit to Irish Acres was nothing short of amazing! Farmer Mark and his wife Oksana run their farm with such dedication, and they welcomed us as if we were part of their family. Mark was wonderfully engaging and patient with the children, turning every moment into a fun and educational experience. The kids got to milk cows, watch butter being made, play with the animals, explore the garden, and even taste some of the farm’s delicious products. Every activity was hands-on, memorable, and filled with joy. From start to finish, it was truly a 10/10 experience. Irish Acres is such a special place, cared for by two very special people. We can’t wait to come back—not only for more of their incredible products but also to see Mark and Oksana again. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful morning on the farm!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Irish Acres Farm is not just an eco-farm — it’s a living reminder that real life still exists. Everything here is in harmony with nature: peaceful surroundings, cleanliness, well-cared-for animals, and kind, genuine people — Mark and Oksana, the farmers who have devoted their lives to work that is truly essential for all of us. Mark and Oksana are real heroes. In today’s urbanized world, many have forgotten where food really comes from, believing it somehow originates on supermarket shelves. But here, at Irish Acres Farm, you rediscover the essence of life — the taste of real, natural food, the quiet rhythm of honest work, and the beauty of simplicity. The farm is beautifully maintained. The area where cows are milked and the milk is processed is spotlessly clean — a true example of care and responsibility. The animals are healthy, calm, and clearly loved. Children will especially enjoy seeing the variety of animals and birds on the farm. Visiting Irish Acres feels like stepping into a fairy tale — a magical oasis nestled in the heart of the forest. It’s a place where technology is used wisely, not to replace nature, but to support and respect it. Highly recommended for families, eco-tourists, and anyone looking to reconnect with nature and themselves. Places like this deserve all our support.
Unlike the other reviewers we didn't come for the milk or the eggs, not that there's anything wearing with them... I'm sure there fine. We came to spend the night in their little air B&B cottage. This was the second time we've stayed here so that tells you pretty much what we think about the place. It's clean, quiet and the bed's comfortable. You can look at the photos two see what the interior's like. It's really, really nice and if we're in the area we'll see if we can stay here again.
First time at Irish Acres and was not disappointed, it's worth the drive. I contacted Mark via phone and he was very prompt when responding. Next day I came and picked some delicious yummy healing raw dairy goods. Me and Mark had a wonderful awakening conversation and got to meet one of the Whoofers at his farm Chi who was super friendly and gave me a tour of the vegetable garden. It's a beautiful farm, I didn't get to see the beautiful cows but next time for sure. It has beautiful pond recently finished by the owner, Vitex berry tree to die for 🥰 a nice garden filled with pest free Non GMO homegrown fresh vegetables and fruitsI tried the cute cherry tomatoes and they were devine the dairy was impeccably delicious I very much enjoyed the fresh milk and heavy Creme along raw kefir. Mark gave me a sample and free Mason jars to can my milk goods along first customer gift a full pint of homemade raw yogurt and I was so blown away by the quality of thier products and the cleanliness of thier dairy shop it was setup beautifully and well organized you can tell they're very passionate about quality food. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend visiting the farm and trying some raw healthy healing food. Mother nature is your gift. Thank you Mark, Chi and Irish Acres for your generous hospitality and excellent customer service. 😊
