Manna Organic farm is a mixed farm on 25 acres on the Dingle Peninsula. Trees and the principles of Agroforestry have played a big role in the establishment of the farm over the past 15 years. What started out as fields of Ryegrass is now a well established ecosystem
where vegetables are grown on 4 acres surrounded by trees that act as shelter as well as providing biomass to improve soil fertility and health.
Additionally they have created a 4 acre permaculture field which is divided in sections using shelterbelts of Whitethorn and in between planting of fruit producing trees and shrubs. Another section of the farm consists of a 4 acre terraced Agroforestry plot which is planted
with soft fruit bushes surrounded by coppiced Willow, Birch and Sycamore.
