Here at Agri Tours Ireland we provide farm Tours for companies involved in agribusinesses and education, i.e people learning from and researching the Irish agricultural industry. Unfortunately we do not look after "Open Farm" type holidays for families and leisure.
Many people ask us about open farms / pet farms (open farms where you can go and experience a real working farm and meet the animals, a great family day out). we have endeavoured to compile a list of every open farm in Ireland we can find below.
Please do note we do not work directly with these farms and alas have not been able to enjoy them all ourselves, so we cannot vouch for the quality of their services.
Have we missed anyone? Let us know!
