About the Farms
Rooted in the Land.
Open to the World.
At West Cork Farm Tours, we invite you to step beyond the typical tourist trail and into the heart of real Irish farm life. Nestled among the rolling hills and rugged coastline of West Cork, our farms are not only working lands—they’re living stories, passed down through generations and shaped by nature, community, and tradition.
We are proud to offer visitors a warm welcome and a genuine insight into life on the land. Our tours are led by the farmers themselves—people who live and work here every day, whose knowledge and passion for sustainable farming is deeply rooted in the soil they tend. Each visit is a personal, immersive experience that brings you closer to the rhythms of rural Ireland, past and present.
A Living, Breathing Farm Experience
Unlike curated attractions or static displays, our tours happen on real, working farms. The sights, sounds, and seasonal cycles you encounter are authentic and unscripted. From caring for livestock to walking fields rich in biodiversity, everything you see is part of our daily lives.
Why Visit?
Meet the Farmers
This is not a look-but-don’t-touch kind of tour. Our visitors meet the people behind the produce—the families who manage the land with care and conviction. You’ll hear our stories, ask questions, and gain a deeper appreciation for where your food comes from.
Experience Sustainable Agriculture Firsthand
We’re committed to farming in ways that respect the land and nourish the future. Our tours shine a light on sustainable practices—from soil health to low-impact herd management—and demonstrate how traditional values and modern approaches can work hand in hand.
Discover West Cork’s Natural Beauty
West Cork is one of Ireland’s most scenic and unspoiled regions, and our farms are right at its heart. You’ll walk through lush meadows, see the Atlantic shimmer on the horizon, and breathe in the fresh, sea-salted air. It’s not just a farm tour—it’s a chance to reconnect with nature.
For All Ages and Curiosities
Whether you’re a solo traveller, a couple seeking authentic experiences, a family looking to engage the kids, or a group of students exploring food and environment, our tours are tailored to inform, inspire, and delight.
Our Story
West Cork Farm Tours was founded by a group of local farmers who share a love of the land and a desire to tell its story. As lifelong custodians of the countryside, we saw an opportunity to invite others into our world—not to impress, but to connect.
Our region has always been known for its strong farming tradition and community spirit. With our tours, we open our gates to guests from Ireland and across the world. We believe that by sharing our knowledge and heritage, we build greater understanding of the values that shape Irish rural life.
Each of our farms has its own character, its own history, and its own voice—but all are united by a common goal: to offer honest, memorable experiences that celebrate the land and the people who live on it.
