Meet the Cheesemaker: Ballyhubbock Farm

Join us for a visit to Ballyhubbock Farm, County Wicklow. As Irish foodie farmers, Hanna and George are passionate about promoting real, Irish food to the rest of the nation while also producing a sustainable business from their relatively small family-farm.

When George went to college, it was clear that he had great knowledge and passion for all things related to sheep. This was made evident by his ‘Sheep Student of the Year’ accomplishment in college and his recent nomination for ‘Sheep Farmer of the Year’ in Ireland. Since his college days, George has dreamed about starting a Sheep Dairy business on his third generation family farm (which has seen everything from poultry to pigs, dairy cattle to sucklers and of course-sheep). They finally took the leap in 2017 before their first production year which began in the summer of 2018.

Their first-to-market in Ireland products are handcrafted in small batches on our third-generation family farm in the Glen-of-Imaal in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains. When producing their handcrafted products George and Hanna use traditional methods from faraway places but they are made by combining Sheep’s Milk from our their milking flock with the finest, freshest and local (where possible) ingredients – truly farm-to-fork (or spin-to-spoon).

Join us to meet George, Hanna and their sheep to learn about their story, their production techniques and to taste their ewelloumi, ricotta and sheep milk icecream.

This Meet the Cheesemaker event is part of our Meet the Maker series, proudly supported by Sheridans Cheesemongers.
