It was with much fanfare that the Ballyneety Innovation Hub and astroturf pitch officially opened in October 2019 on the grounds of the Ballyneety Golf Club. Indeed, the community facilities developed by the community for the community was a welcome initiative for the local area. When Covid-19 restrictions came into place the committee discussed ways of bringing the local community together in a safe manner while stimulating the local economy. This resulted in the setting up of the Ballyneety Outdoor Farmers Market. The response to this initiative is incredible, with lots of stall holders already in business from home. They were delighted to be able to provide a platform to showcase their wonderful products. The market is proud to feature many local producers ranging from Food, Arts and Crafts to Hot Food, Artisan Coffee, Creperie and even Fresh Pizza.

It was an astounding success and patrons came in droves, the vendors had no way of predicting the demand, they will double up on their produce for the next market.”
