Description

This week on Organic Matters, we speak to Kate Milligan the Commercial Director at Airfield Estate. The farm is 38 acres and sits next to Ireland's largest shopping centre, Dundrum, in the capital city Dublin.

With its 2-acre food garden certified organic, it is currently converting its farm to organic production, which includes a mix of enterprises including a milking jersey herd and laying hens. As part of its remit, it supports both educational and recreational activities, hosting up to 11,000 children each year, as well as running other outreach such as corporate events, weddings and the very popular FarmerTime programme.

Kate speaks to presenter Hannah Quinn-Mulligan about the work they do and their future plans.
