The powerhouse of activity that is Castlefarm shop, organic farm, allotment business and farm visitor centre, in Narraghmore, Athy, Co Kildare will soon have three home-reared, organically fed, locally butchered, and 21-day dry-aged Angus heifers for sale in 10kg boxes. Each box will contain approximately four T-bone steaks, four sirloins, four striploins, two round roasts, 2kg mince, 3kg rib steak and 2kg stewing beef, and the cost will be €120.
You’ll have to collect the box yourself, but Jenny and Peter Young, who run the farm, point out that they like customers to see where their food is coming from, “and it would be a perfect opportunity for a farm visit,” Jenny says. The first heifer will be ready for collection on March 6th, with the others following on March 13th. Book on 087-6785269 or see www.castlefarmshop.ie.
