Community Supported Agriculture

How Does It Work?

Cloughjordan Community Farm is a member-owned farm situated on the Tipperary-Offaly border and within Cloughjordan Eco-village grounds using agroecological farming methods. We aim to produce the highest quality, nutritionally dense vegetables, while also reducing the environmental impact of producing this food.

Since we started in 2008, we’ve been supplying fresh produce to 70-90 adult members and their children in the area.

Members pay a regular contribution to cover administration, running costs, land lease, equipment, and wages of our growers. In return we all receive a regular supply of farm-fresh vegetables and herbs in season, delivered twice a week to a central collection point “coach house”, where we can pick up what we want at any time. Members can also self-harvest some items such as soft fruits. Our standard membership rate is €69.33 per month, per adult in the household, and children in a household go free.

Members may also optionally participate in farming activities, take part in our events, and/or get involved with farm coordination and running of our social enterprise. We have regular farm walks, community meals and educational events.

What is important to us?

Enriching the soil to help us grow.

Our vegetables are grown in healthy, nutrient rich soil and taste amazing. Being a part of Cloughjordan Community Farm is a unique experience; you will be directly connected to the source of your food, you’ll hear from the people who grow it, receive harvest reports, and can explore the place your food comes from.

Our Vision is:

to grow, distribute and consume food from a local member owned farm
to provide a wide variety of seasonal vegetables, salads, herbs and fruits to farm members at a local distribution point
to grow using regenerative practices, without the use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or artificial fertilisers.
to grow heritage varieties, to save our own seeds and to enrich the soil using agroecological methods
to provide local employment and include a variety of volunteer opportunities
to be an educational and social resource for the local and wider community
to nurture the network of growers and land workers in Ireland and further abroad. Especially the next-generations via educational programmes and partnerships.

We host volunteers under the age of 30 for a growing season under the European Solidarity Corps volunteer scheme, who learn about regenerative farming and take part in community life.

We also run the regular North Tipperary Online Farmer’s Market with collection hubs in both Cloughjordan and Nenagh on select Thursday evenings. For a range of local produce from local producers and food processors join the online market mailing list for updates.

Farm members and others from the wider community gather every Tuesday lunchtime at our “Food Hub” to eat soup made from farm produce and locally baked bread. We also have evening meals there – “Eats & Beats” – every 1-2 months.

We outreach to and involve the wider Cloughjordan/Tipperary/Offaly community in a number of ways, and have a dedicated educational and outreach area of the farm,”Cuan Beo” (“Harbour of Life” as Gaelige), focusing on the role of food and nature in a just transition.

SOILCRATES – https://soilcrates.eu

Cloughjordan Community Farm are a partner in this Horizon Europe Project.

Inspired by Socrates’ philosophy of inquiry, dialogue and collective learning, SOILCRATES (Soil-crates) is a collaborative project focused on restoring and preserving soil quality across Europe by developping soil literacy and monitoring soil structure, soil life, and crop-growing conditions of mineral soils. With 21 partners, from academia, agricultural stakeholders, and local authorities, SOILCRATES co-creates, tests and implements sustainable soil practices.

This initiative addresses the pressing need to manage soil as a living resource, essential to food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience. SOILCRATES operates within four Living Labs (LL) defined by the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ as user-centred, place-based and transdisciplinary research and innovation ecosystems that involve multiple partners (e.g., land managers, scientists, citizens, businesses, and local authorities) to co-design, test, monitor and evaluate solutions in real-life settings for improving soil health.
