At Murtagh’s Organic Farm, we aim to provide an agritourism destination in the heartland of the midlands.
Located at the Old Parochial House, Ballynacargy, Co. Westmeath, on 14 acres of farmland with stunning forestry on the banks of the Royal Canal. The area is steeped with history with buildings dating to the mid 1800s.
Our farm is a special haven for our rescue animals where you can visit them in their natural environment along with enjoying the beauty and tranquility of rural life.
We provide an educational experience that connects people to the land and promotes sustainable farming practices.
Bring the classroom to life with an engaging and hands-on Educational Farm Walk designed especially for school groups and youth clubs.
Our guided farm walk offers students a unique opportunity to learn where their food comes from, explore sustainable farming practices, and meet the animals who live on the farm.
Children will meet and learn about our friendly farm animals such as sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens and much more. They’ll discover what each animal eats, how they’re cared for, and their role on the farm.
A guided walk through our fields and forestry shows how crops grow throughout the seasons. Students will learn about planting, harvesting, and the journey from field to fork.
Explore hedgerows, wildflower meadows, and bug hotels while learning about habitats, pollinators, and the importance of biodiversity on a working farm.
See tractors and other farming equipment up close. Learn how modern technology helps farmers work more efficiently and sustainably.
Our experienced guides tailor the walk to suit the age and curriculum level of your group, making learning fun and memorable. Optional worksheets and activity packs can be provided depending on age and package.
