“We are delighted to facilitate this community initiative which involves collaboration with a multitude of the best food and drink producers from Limerick and beyond,” said Stephen Leahy, NeighbourFood Attyflin Estate host.  “From the award-winning apple juices, apple cider vinegars, preserves and chutneys produced from fruits grown in the Attyflin Estate walled garden and orchards, to freshly prepared salads and meat-free dishes by Happy Food at Home to smoked fish from the acclaimed Burren Smokehouse and farmed organic venison from Ballinwillin House Farm, customers are going to be completely spoiled for choice when they visit the online shop.” 

Located less than 10 minutes from Adare on the Cork Road, Attyflin Estate is perfectly placed to serve residents in Co Limerick who enjoy and recognise the value of high-quality Irish artisan products.  As the second NeighbourFood in the Limerick area, it will complement the hugely successful city centre venue operated by Deirdre MacMahon in the Milk Market.

About Attyflin Estate

Attyflin Estate is set on a historic 250 acres demesne in Co Limerick and boasts a rich food production heritage.  It was acquired by the O Connell family in 2002 who embarked on an intensive land refurbishment campaign with a phased plan to replenish the estate’s 40,000 hardwood trees and in more recent years, the walled garden and commercial apple orchards have been extensively planted out.   

Through widespread travel, in particular visiting centres of excellence in the South Tyrol region, the Attyflin Estate owners gained an insight into best practices in the agri-food/tourism industries which inspired them to create a brand of fine artisan beverages and foods.

Significant investment has been made on the estate and Attyflin Estate is proud to promote a bud to bottle process. Using ingredients from the Attylin Estate orchards and walled garden, the team presses, bottles and packages the Attyflin Estate range of award-winning juices, apple cider vinegar, preserves and chutneys.
