Brookfield Farm

Brookfield Farm is set within the beautiful landscape running down to the shores of Lough Derg. Through careful and sustainable farming processes Brookfield produces artisan food and locally sourced honey delivered directly to you. You will find the most delicious wildflower honey, farm-made beeswax candles, and tender lamb minimally processed. Valuing the relationship between farmer and consumer, Brookfield Farm delivers artisan products direct from the farm to your home. Ailbhe Gerrard is the farmer and beekeeper behind Brookfield Farm. After working and living in Dublin for many years she returned to Brookfield farm beside her family home. Ailbhe studied sustainable development at University College London, and organic farming for three years in the renowned Scottish Agricultural College (SRUC). Driven by her vision of bringing agriculture back to its sustainable roots; producing good food for people. Ailbhe has farmed Brookfield Farm for over six years, growing skills, developing new ideas, and making collaborations with skilled farmers, apiarists, and consumers. As well as farming the land Ailbhe was inspired by the views and rich land of the farm, she set out to create entirely natural, traditionally handmade gift products from the wild honey being produced, including beeswax candles and gift boxes. The candles are dipped + hand-poured often scented with botanical essential oils.
