The couple behind Mayo’s Glen Keen sheep farm which consists of a commonage footprint of over 5,500ac, said they have found agri-tourism to be a really rewarding business and are now eyeing expansion in Asia.
Catherine and Jim Power of Glen Keen Farm, one of Ireland’s largest privately owned farms, offer a slew of agri tourism initiatives.
These include: sheep herding demonstrations; Irish music and dance sessions; traditional turf cutting; a pre-famine walking tour; wool spinning and cooking experiences as well as a farm cottage stay.
Glen Keen farm is located between Louisburgh, Co.Mayo, and Leenane, Co.Galway, at the gateway to the Connemara region.
