Irish Seed Savers Association

This is a working farm in East Clare, with a shop, seasonal cafeŽ and twenty acres of beautiful

woodlands, organic gardens and orchards that are open to the public.

The Irish Seed Savers Association is a non-profit charity, set up in 1991 to save Ireland’s

heritage and heirloom vegetable seeds, potatoes, grains and fruit trees from extinction.

The Association has over 800 varieties of organic, open pollinated heritage seeds in its purpose-built Seed

Bank. The extensive heritage gardens contain a native Irish apple tree collection together

with the country’s only self-rooting orchard. Each year, the Association shares its skills and knowledge with

thousands of children and adults through courses, camps and outreach programmes.

The Irish Seed Savers Association is one of very few organisations in Ireland engaged in this urgent work.
