Derrybeg farm: sustainable agriculture managed by and for farm members

The aim of Derrybeg Farm is to integrate community and agriculture in a mixed, biodiverse, sustainable and environmentally responsible farm, managed for the benefit of everyone involved.

Are you interested in:

  • Good quality, organically grown and affordable local food, but don’t have time or space to grow your own?
  • Organic farming methods that increase biodiversity?
  • Investment in the local economy and community?
  • Supporting local employment?
  • Helping people who have not traditionally been involved in farming to work as farmers?
  • Food security for the locality in the future, especially as food prices rise in tandem with fuel prices?
  • Meeting other people in your locality who have similar interests?

Derrybeg farm provides all of these for the Celbridge / Maynooth / Leixlip / Lucan area.

 

Our ethos and values

We strive to:

  • Support mixed, biodiverse, organic and sustainable agriculture that respects the earth and the people involved.
  • Pioneer an economic model based on mutual benefit and shared risk and ensure that the farmers have a decent livelihood.
  • Encourage practical involvement of the farm community members on all levels.
  • Be transparent in all our affairs.
  • Make decisions through deliberation and to reach genuine consensus wherever possible.
  • Work towards social justice.
  • Be participatory, collaborative and egalitarian and respect everybody who takes part
  • Listen to all shades of opinion and all questions and doubts among our members.
  • Discuss differences and work to accommodate them and benefit from them.
  • Offer opportunities for learning about food and farming and for connection with the life of the earth.
  • Network with others to promote community-supported agriculture in other communities and farms and to share our learning (social, economic and farming).
  • Encourage members, in co-operation with the farmers, to use the farm for their individual and social activities and celebrations.
  • Develop a sense of community around the farm.
  • Achieve a financial situation where low income shall not exclude anyone.
  • Work co-operatively with other enterprises that share our principles
