Introduction

The Mourne Heritage Trust (MHT) is an independent body which aims to provide for the future management of the Mourne and Slieve Croob Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) The Trustrsquos Mission is ldquoto sustain and enhance the environment rural regeneration cultural heritage and visitor opportunities of the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contribute to the well-being of Mournersquos communitiesrdquo The Trust works in five key areas as follows

1 Natural Environment Enhancement and protection 2 Visitor management and Visitor Services 3 Built and Cultural heritage 4 Sustainable Tourism 5 Rural and Community Regeneration

Mourne Rural Cultural Heritage Programme (Ref 03274) Mourne Heritage Trust secured financial assistance from the Rural Development Council (RDC) under the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation to deliver the Mourne Rural Cultural Heritage Programme The aim of the overall project aims lsquoto promote rural regeneration in the Mourne AONB through an improved understanding of shared culture and heritagersquo The objectives are as follows

bull Employment of a Heritage Officer for 2 years bull Mourne Branding Forum established to promote local agricultural produce

and crafts bull 1 study visit for 10 people from the Mourne Branding Forum to learn

about regional branding bull Heritage audit developed and published on the MHT bull 12 Cultural lsquofactsheetsrsquo published

In addition MHT secured funding from the Northern Ireland Regional Food Programme (NIRFP) to compliment the work being undertaken with the Mourne Branding Initiative (MBI) aspect of the Mourne Rural Cultural Heritage Programme NIRFP funding contributes to the following areas of work


3

bull Study commissioned to identify best practice methods used by areas with similar characteristics to the Mournes who have established a brand name to market local produce

bull Study visit organised to visulise how the Mournes area could potentially benefit from a branding initiative

bull Tailored training and mentoring programme covering topics related to the agri-food industry in Northern Ireland (due to commence April 2008)

The Mourne Branding Initiative aims to highlight the local and traditional products of the Mourne and Slieve Croob Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) An important aspect of the initiative is to encourage local businesses to look at good practice elsewhere Two study visits to the lsquoFlavour of Tyrone Regionrsquo and to County Leitrim were organised to meet this objective


4

Study Visits

Rural Heritage Officer Joanne McAlinden organised two study visits

bull 1 day trip to Co Tyrone ndash 31st January 2008 bull 1 overnight stay in Co Leitrim ndash 20th amp 21st February 2008

The objective of the study visits was to provide an opportunity for key individuals of Mourne to visulise how the Mourne and Slieve Croob AONB could potentially benefit from food and branding projects that have been successfully implemented elsewhere


5

Study Visit 1 ndash Flavour of Tyrone amp Good Food Circle

Study visit 1 was designed to give local eating establishments and individuals involved in the food and hospitality industry the opportunity to visit and recognise the benefits gained where a successful regional branding initiative has been implemented The study visit incorporated the following

bull Briefing from Tourism Officer and Good Food Circle Co-coordinator bull Briefing from Chair and membership of the Good Food Circle bull Briefing from Farmersrsquo Market Project Officer bull Demonstration using local produce

Summary amp points of interest from visit Good Food Circle Members

Good Food Circle (GFC) members visited on the trip were extremely enthusiastic and demonstrated a real passion for the business they are involved Nora Brown (nationally amp internationally recognised cook and recipient of MBE) was one of the founding members of the Good Food Circle and brought with her experience gained with her involvement with the establishment of the lsquoTaste of Ulsterrsquo Brand

From the concept of the GFC it took approximately 2 years to get the project to a stage where members were formally recognised A Project Officer was employed part time (council funded)

Those visited admitted that it was difficult in the beginning to get members on board as other restaurants were seen locally as their competitors Members found that a number of study visits to various food showsevents throughout the UK helped the group to gel and were an excellent networking opportunity

Key reputable restaurants were invited to join the GFC in the early days Now those wishing to become members must submit an application and fulfill various pre-set criteria and an assessment process This process takes place every two


6

years but may in the near future take place on an annual basis to ensure that promotional material is kept up to date

Members are charged pound100 per year and must attend monthly board meetings Absence from 3 consecutive meetings can result in membership being withdrawn

Each member MUST highlight one signature dish on their menu which produce is entirely sourced locally This may be a starter main course or dessert

GFC members considered the benefits as a member to be

bull Immediate increase in business bull Networking and sharing of ideas bull Flavour of Tyrone Good Food Circle has lsquoput Tyrone on the maprsquo bull Financial assistance with marketing (national amp international food shows

publications (eg Ulster Tattler) local newspapers website) bull Centrally administered website amp comment cards bull Buying power ndash special deals from suppliers (eg wine meat fair trade) bull Referral system bull Staff training eg customer care visitor servicing bull New highly visible excellent quality external promotional material (instant

brand recognition)

Farmersrsquo Market

Tyrone Farmersrsquo Market was established in 2002 The market takes place every 1st amp 3rd Saturday of the month in the carpark beside Tescos and has a dedicated Project Officer employed by the local council The nearest farmersrsquo markets are located in Strabane and Omagh

Marques were financed by the local council Stalls cost pound25 which includes a marquee amp 2 standard tables There are currently 15 producers (food amp craft) that MUST commit to 1 market day per month There is a maximum limit imposed of 3 producers of every type per market day (eg meat bread craft) All meat must now be Farm Quality Assured Farmersrsquo market provides contacts for local eating establishments

Success story ndash Fivemiletown Cheese started business selling cheese at farmers market Now exports brie to France


7

The farmersrsquo market tried to expand to 6 rural villages outside Cookstown and Dungannon This did not work as businesses considered the market as a threat The objective was however to complement what already existed Research has shown that Tescos have increased sales on market days

The Farmersrsquo Market Project Officer also has the role of increasing awareness of the importance of sourcing local produce and raising awareness of health eating This education programme involves local primary schools and demonstration samples of products


8

Study Visit 2 ndash County Leitrim

Study visit 2 was designed to give local agricultural producers those potentially in a position to diversify from conventional agriculture and individuals involved in food and hospitality the opportunity to meet and engage with individuals and organisations involved in successful and unique projects that could be replicated in Mourne This visit endeavored to demonstrate the benefits to be gained sourcing local produce and establishing good working relationships between producers and customers The visit incorporated the following

bull The Greenbox ndash Irelandrsquos first genuine ecotourism destination bull The Organic Centre - provision of public education training and

dissemination of information about organic growing and sustainable living bull The FoodHub ndash state of the art food production facility bull Western Organic Network ndash Organisation providing training to food

producers to meet increased demand for organic produce

Summary amp points of interest from visit Individuals and organisations visited on the study visit again were extremely welcoming and passionate and positive about the sectors they were involved All demonstrated a genuine willingness to share information and advice with study group participants The Greenbox

The Greenbox endeavors to set of standards based on sound environmental practices highlighting all that the region and its people has to offer

This is being achieved through a model of tourism partnership and brings together representatives from many national regional and local agencies In addition many sound environmental enterprises ecotourism products and community initiatives fall under the Greenbox umbrella


9

Success of Greenbox has been brought about by persistent lobbying of government agencies and influencing various lsquogreenrsquo policy changes

Greenbox facilitated development of lsquoEco-tourismrsquo label pilot programme involving 40 businesses lsquoBlue Flowerrsquo logo officially rewards accommodation services as being ldquoamongst most environmentally friendly in their areardquo This is a high internationally recognised standard monitored by outside bodies and now adopted by Failteacute Ireland

Implementation of this initiative is entirely independent amp transparent

Sizeable financial assistance was necessary for training and marketing

Benefits

bull Area becoming recognised as Irelandrsquos first genuine eco-tourism destination

The Organic Centre

The main focus of the Organic Centre is training and demonstration Other finance generating facilities include a cafeacute (using seasonal organic produce from the adjoining gardens) and an eco-shop Funding to sustain the centers running costs and core staff is generated through training programmes and production of various literature

Benefits

The centre has been a catalyst in attracting visitors to the area This has had positive spin-offs such as increased bed nights in nearby town (2000+ individuals register on courses per year from all over Ireland) BampBs are recommended by the Organic Centre that make a conscience effort to be lsquogreenrsquo ndash eg use of free range eggs eco-friendly cleaning products fair trade tea coffee organic milk etc

Good community relationships have been established with local restaurants purchasing freshly grown herbs

School amp Community projects have had many benefits

- increased social interaction - Increased physical activity - increased environmental awareness - increased organic gardening skills


10

- promotion of healthy eating - increased knowledge in composting recycling and inter-connectedness of

natural ecosystems

The FoodHub

This is an excellent example of a community coming together to create long term sustainable employment for the local area This idea came from a study visit to USA lsquoTime Share Kitchen Resourcersquo

Main barriers recognised generally to setting up food businesses - Cost - Health amp safety regulations

Benefits- Creates local employment - Encourages entrepreneurship - Provides onsite support to tenants

Western Organics Network (WON)

Established to provide training to food producers to meet the increased demand for organic produce and encourage producers to take advantage of new market opportunities

Benefits- Influenced government policy on organic farming - Sharing of knowledge and skills - Creates and develops new market routes

Drawbacks- Lack of responsibility from members - Difficulty with individuals to see benefits of networking

The Oarsman

Numerous prestigious awards have been attributed to sourcing preparing and presenting food carefully All food is sourced using local suppliers where possible

Organic vegetables herbs and salads are sourced 10-15 mile radius All meat and dairy products are fully traceable (Feacuteile Bia Quality Assured)


11

Member of Slow Food movement - Ireland

Acknowledges organic and artisan produce is more expensive however there is a willingness to support local community and recognises the benefits of personal relationships with suppliers By supporting such producer businesses can develop and grow In the longer term prices may be more competitive

Benefits

- Supports local economy - Increased visitor numbers to the town ndash main attraction being renowned

high quality local food served

Study Visit 2

Following results are based on County Leitrim study visit feedback forms completed and returned by 13 participants

1 Briefly describe what you enjoyed about the County Leitrim study visit

The food Opportunity to talk to Organic Centre Greenbox Western Organics Network

Martin Carey

I enjoyed the whole visit getting to see and hear what different opportunities there are and to see what we have up in the North could do if we put our minds to it

Patricia Collins

I found the study visit very informative ndash saw things I never knew existed The Greenbox organisation the Foodhub Mary who gave us the talk at the Greenbox is very well informed on subjects like getting people working together community group training and obtaining funding She emphasized the importance of local branding ie Eco Flower label

Bernadette Cunningham

The Study visit was interesting The talk by Mary (Greenbox) contained lots of interesting information about co-operating with other groups of people and of course the all important funding and branding of local produce

Brendan Cunningham

It was very interesting to see how the guest house and hoteliers all worked so closely with the producers

Geraldine Fitzpatrick

I enjoyed the hospitality of the people we met on our study visit and the willingness to share with us their experiences on setting up their business projects

Sean Fitzpatrick

First of all I enjoyed the very friendly approach and interest shown in all the study visits and the high standard of lectures and courtesy shown I enjoyed very much the good food and accommodation provided The Trustrsquos Rural Heritage Officer Miss Joanne McAlinden was exemplary

Noel Houston

I enjoyed meeting and talking to individuals from Mourne with an interest in promoting local Mourne produce and branding I found representatives from ALL organisations visited to be extremely welcoming and extremely passionate and positive about the sectors that they were involved Everyone demonstrated a genuine willingness to share information and advice

Joanne McAlinden

Talking to people who had already seen all the pitfalls in the food businesses and finding out good ideas Everyone we spoke to were open about their

Oisin Murnion


14

experiences I also enjoyed being able to see a community effort that worked We both enjoyed the visit to the farm that grew their own stuff and the simple but good lunch we had from the garden Food for thought

June Patterson

Visit to the Greenbox Food Hub Farmers Market amp Talk Opportunity to share and discuss ideas and opinions in a non formal environment The quality of the local food was excellent in the hotel Rossinver Farmers market and in the Oarsman

Kieran Swail

Good use of time - Numerous visits organised Good examples of best practice ndash passionate and enthused speakers

Shirely Walker

Meeting new people and especially the staff of Mourne Heritage Trust Learning and seeing Asking questions Hearing positives and negatives of the past

Mairead White

2a What do you consider to be the most beneficial site visit Greenbox for me because it covered branding and sustainable tourism

Martin Carey

The organic farm I enjoyed mostly using their own produce

Patricia Collins

The Organic Centre Bernadette CunninghamThe Greenbox Brendan CunninghamThe farmers market Geraldine FitzpatrickI thought the organic centre was the most benificial Sean FitzpatrickI consider the catering industryrsquos desire to source locally produced food with less reliance on supermarkets

Noel Houston

The Oarsman Restaurant Joanne McAlindenThe most beneficial site was the Foodhub Drumshambo with facilities for food production on site

Oisin Murnion

The organic farm because it can grow inside June PattersonThe Oarsman Restaurant Joanne McAlindenBoth the Food Hub at Drumshanbo and the Farmers Market in Carrick-on-Shannon

Kieran Swail

I thought they were all equally beneficial Shirley WalkerThe visit to the FoodHub ndash could work in most local communities

Mairead White

2b Please detail why you found this site visit to be most beneficial Greenbox as it gave examples of branding and sustainable tourism that we can lsquoliftrsquo Western organics

Martin Carey


15

Network was also useful though in showing how capacity for organic farming can be built up I found it most beneficial as it was able to supply to small business around the town it was also able to let children come in and learn to grow their own It was very enjoyable visit

Patricia Collins

I liked the Organic Centre (because I am interested in gardening) I found the place very nice and can imagine it in the summer Steven told us they use 9 acres for vetetables and herbs and supply local They have school groups visit and have visitors from all over Ireland and beyond They send visitors to local BampBs and in that small area have more than 1000 bed nights last year which must be a good thing for them In summer they employ 15 people but he did say it is a struggle to pay wages Donrsquot get much in the way of funding




The premium they could charge for their products was over twice the price they could receive from co-ops


Young people had a chance to train there and learn to grow vegetables and herbs This also taught them how different types of soil was used in this work

Sean Fitzpatrick

As a beef and lamb producer in the middle of the Mournes great care and attention through the farm Quality assurance Scheme to produce good quality meat which is all too often sold cheap Supermarkets are set up to buy in large quantities and endevour to take over smaller outlets thereby gaining increased power to purchase at the mercy of the producer

Noel Houston

Conor from The Oarsman was not only an ambassador for his restaurant but also for all food producers in the local area I think his talk ended the study visit on a very positive note demonstrating the REAL benefits of sourcing local high quality produce and the importance of good working relationships between local producers

Joanne McAlinden


16

and restaurateurs It gave me an idea of what we could have ourselves if we get organised If such a similar place was in our area it would be very easy to start up any form of food business quickly It could be compared to the facility which DARD have at Loughry Food College

Oisin Murnion

I found it to be more beneficial when it was able to supply to other small businesses in the local area The way students were able to come and learn how to grow their own vegetables

June Patterson

The Mournes Region is at a very early stage of developing a foodtourism brand and I found it useful to see how another region in Ireland has been organised to promote lsquoorganic and good local foodrsquo

Kieran Swail

Good initiatives Enthusiasm for projects Forward thinking Taking ownership

Shirely Walker

I think if we want to develop a product and where local people do not have the facility this could be a great idea Also ideas generate and more products developed Keeps costs down for the local community

Mairead White

3 From all the sites visited what ideas do you consider could be transferable to Mourne Training (Western Organics Network) ndash MHT are planning but could perhaps do more depending on interest) Community Kitchen Greenbox Accreditation Scheme

Martin Carey

I think if different farmers went into tourism they could start and grow their own organic vegetables if the right soil was there it would be more beneficial for people around

Patricia Collins

It would be good if we could get an organisation like the Greenbox going We have good land and can rear good beef and lamb Kilkeel is a major fishing village so we might have a lot going for us We need to be able to market our wares to the best advantage and label our products as grown in Mourne


It is hard to say I talked to some very good farmers since the outing (some who are Farm Quality Assured) and they were not very enthusiastic about trying any of

Brendan Cunningham


17

the projects that was talked about I think they are afraid it would require spending money for which they might get little in return The cold store for fruit and vegetables Geraldine FitzpatrickThe Organic Centre and the Greenbox Sean FitzpatrickI consider a state of the art food production facility such as the lsquoFoodHubrsquo could be set up in Mourne to encourage small producer groups to set up business encourage employment and added value I know from past management experience in food production food buyers want good locally sourced raw material The catering industry locally ought to have access to local products

Noel Houston

All ideas could be transferable to Mourne Greenbox ndash accreditation scheme Organic Centre ndash demonstration gardens amp training FoodHub ndash community kitchen meeting health amp safety Regulations WON ndash training programme amp networking Farmersrsquo Market - support from local authorities Oarsman ndash pride in local produce imaginative dishes using local seasonal produce

Joanne McAlinden

Mourne Heritage Trust could take a different role and help bring key people together in forming their own farmers co-op I went down to Kilkeel harbour to see were there any premises similar Most were fish orientated but none were vacant Some large building in the area could be comandered and refurbished into a similar state of the processing property We should all become members of the lsquoSlow Food Movementrsquo

Oisin Murnion

I think that if farmers that have diversified into tourism they would be able to grow their own vegetables which would be fresher cheaper and donrsquot have to wait on delivery vans

June Patterson

There are aspects of what I saw in Leitrim which could be adapted to work in the Mournes ndash but this requires a quantum leap based on a bottom-up approach The concept of promoting primarily local (organic) food as we experienced in the Oarsman could be easily transferred I also think that the Food Hub idea could be replicated on a smaller scale but once again inter-agency co-operation is paramount if this is to work

Kieran Swail

All could be transferable in time At this stage a Good Food Circle (Co Tyrone) would appear to be an ideal

Shirely Walker


18

initiative to start with Many of the ideas could be used but I feel it is important to develop tourism restaurants etc and then the food issue could be addressed It is expensive to go organic and that would make our prices higher and people do not go with this

Mairead White

4 Do you think there are barriers that might delay similar Mourne initiatives or inhibit them from taking place

No 4Patricia Collins

Geraldine Fitzpatrick June Patterson

Mairead White Yes 9

Martin Carey Bernadette Cunningham

Brendan Cunningham Sean Fitzpatrick Noel Houston Joanne McAlinden Oisin Murnion Kieran Swail Shirley Walker

If lsquoyesrsquo please detail barriers you feel exist in Mourne Level number of producers Martin CareyTo get people to work together but with the right training that could probably be overcome The fact that we are in a border region might work to out favour for funding purposes


Mourne people would be hard to talk into any of the projects that were discussed plus the fact so many young people trained as joiners bricklayers fitters etc recently where they get a good pay packet every Friday night To ask them to change would just make them laugh

Brendan Cunningham

I think that some people might not be willing to pull together to make things work

Sean Fitzpatrick


19

Lack of facilities Lack of training Lack of grants Too much legislation and paperwork

Noel Houston

Vision amp lack of belief pride in local area and products A driving force ndash individuals organisations Lack of community spirit in Mourne working in partnership Financial assistance through funding programmes

Joanne McAlinden

Any barrier would be lack of personal initiative There could be religious barriers bringing both communities together in Mourne However these could be resolveds at the start by starting off with a small group co-operation at start Equal amounts of people from both sides of the community with Mourne Heritage Trust with casting vote as an independent body Rules would need properly laid out at start a proper constitution with a regulating body or a board of governors linked to Mourne Heritage Trust

Oisin Murnion

Socio-cultural barriers in relation to food education awareness Economic - perceived financial difficulties diversifying from traditional farming Co-operation - Limited evidence of multi-agency co-operation Legacy of the troubles - Communities only now coming to terms with the economic reality of having to work together Driving Force - Distinct absence of an obvious Champion ( public private or community) driving the food (tourism) agenda

Kieran Swail

Commitment from businesses Who should take initiatives forward Funding sources for initiatives

Shirely Walker

I think we have much more going for us in the Mournes than they had in Leitrim We need a dedicated and more structured approach with more leaflets advertising etc

Mairead White


20

5 Please detail any further comments you wish to make Had a very enjoyable few days it would have been nice to have extra time in a few of the visits Thank you to the Mourne Heritage Trust for such an enjoyable and interesting visit

Patricia Collins

A facility like the FoodHub would be very desirable but the expense of setting up would be colossal and would need to be funded The fact that different groups could hire the kitchen to bake or prepare food for parties etc would be good Also for cooking demos or training classes I think in this day and age most people have clean and hygienic kitchens and I donrsquot agree with the fact that a woman who wants to bake bread cakes etc to sell at a farmers market should have to hire a place like the lsquoFoodHubrsquo for a few hours to bake there


Some people say it would just create more jobs for the boys and the girls sitting in offices and visiting farms telling people what they must and must not do

Brendan Cunningham

Education should be demonstrated at schools and local authorities to a wide audience on the advantages of organic food production and its health benefits There is a definite interest and demand for organic food products after visiting County Leitrim and I feel sure this interest exists throughout the country ndash this needs to be advanced

Noel Houston

No further comments other than to say a big thank you to Joanne for giving us the chance to go We really enjoyed our stay it would have been better if we had a bit longer at the form to buy some stuff from the craft shop

June Patterson

People need to get up and get at it With the current websites available through work which Joanne McAlinden set up there is absolute and total opportunity to supply local produce to local business One or two lead people could organise the whole set-up We have everything at our fingertips Mourne Heritage Trust could be key to organise funding for such an enterprise

Oisin Murnion

Thoroughly enjoyed the two days Kieran SwailWhat about courses in organic ndash more information a database of where I can get products Fair trade week Organic Week Vegetarian Week etc etc

Mairead White

APPENDIX 8

About Greenbox

The Greenbox is emerging as Irelands first genuine ecotourism destination with a set of standards based on sound environmental practices highlighting all that the region and its people has to offer

What is Ecotourism Ecotourism is travel which is small scale low impact culturally sensitive community orientated primarily nature based educational and capable of broadening peoples minds and enlivening their souls but providing a unique experience firmly grounded in sustainable principles and practices The Greenbox is Ireland

What is the Greenbox The Greenbox is Irelands first integrated ecotourism destination The area of the Greenbox includes Counties Fermanagh Leitrim West Cavan North Sligo South Donegal and North West Monaghan

A Quality Labelling System For Ecotourism in the Greenbox The Greenbox is a completely unique region and is a natural location for Irelands first ecotourism destination It boasts unique ecosystems an unspoiled landscape centres of learning such as The Organic Centre a Geo Park (Marble Arch CavesCo Fermanagh) and off shore islands of high conservation value such as Inishmurray Island in Donegal Bay

The geographic area is surrounded by water on all sides by the Shannon Erne Waterway Lough Erne and The Atlantic Ocean The region which was once overshadowed by conflict is now one of the most peaceful places in Ireland and nine years on from a peace agreement (The Belfast Agreement) the destination is in an ideal position to welcome tourists to visit

The unspoilt nature of the Greenbox has contributed to attracting a high concentration of ldquogreenrdquo and ecotourism operators to the region The Greenbox is working to develop these resources further and to create a world class ecotourism destination with a strong focus on raising ecotourism standards This is being achieved through a model of tourism partnership and brings together representatives from many national regional and local agencies In addition many sound environmental enterprises ecotourism products and community initiatives fall under the Greenbox umbrella

Responsible Tourism Ltd (Trading as Greenbox Ltd) is a cross border organisation in the Northwest of Ireland that has been set up to stimulate the


37

development of ecotourism in the region To achieve these ends we have facilitated the development of an ecotourism quality label that we hope will continue to strengthen the Greenbox brand and which will defend the ethical values of existing Greenbox ecotourism promoters In addition the label has been designed to guide visitors travel choices and help them to choose promoters of ecotourism products and the experiences they have on offer

Core to ecotourism and to the Greenbox philosophy is the concept of environmental sustainability and the label has been very much developed with this in mind in order to ensure that the environmental impacts of Greenbox products are minimised The label also encourages proactive nature conservation and the promotion of local cultural values while at the same time developing our local economy and the long term viability of the Greenbox destination

The European Eco-label for tourist accommodation services and camp site services (The EU Flower)

The European Eco-label for tourist accommodation service was created to reward accommodation services and tourists who respect the environment It signals good environmental performance and gives an assurance of added quality for consumers choosing accommodation Enterprises bearing the Flower Logo have officially been distinguished as being amongst the most environmentally friendly in their area

Why have the European Commission launched the EU Flower label for tourism

The Eco-label-scheme is a consequence of the EU strategy of sustainable development which has become a paramount objective of the European Union since the Amsterdam Treaty in 1997 Thus it integrates the three main pillars of sustainability environment society and economy The global sustainable development process has evolved since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 The examination of a tourist accommodation service on its ecological benefits is performed by independent testers thus the EU Flowers high standard is guaranteed Europe wide


38

Where can I find more information

More information on the standard can be found at the dedicated EU Flower for tourist accommodation website httpwwweco-label-tourismcom

APPENDIX 9 The Organic Centre

The Organic Centre is a non profit organisation set up in 1995 with the aim of providing public education training and information about organic growing and sustainable living The Centre is located on a 19 acre site in Rossinver Co Leitrim Ireland and we have outreach centres in Co Clare and Co Wicklow

We run workshops on organic horticulture gardening green building alternative energy and artisan food production and we offer a year long organic horticulture training programme

The Centre is a recognised eco-tourism destination Our facilities include

bull Demonstration gardens amp polytunnels

bull An orchard amp soft fruit area with heritage varieties

bull A cafeacute using seasonal organic produce from our gardens

bull An eco-shop selling garden tools books seasonal vegetables etc

The Grass Roof Cafeacute

The Grass Roof Vegetarian Cafe at the Organic Centre is a unique dining experience Surrounded by 10 acres of organic gardens a plentiful supply of fresh produce is available to the cooks With such high quality and often hard to source vegetables at their fingertips the cooks create fresh and interesting dishes everyday of the week The Grass Roof Cafe nourishes The Organic Centre staff and members of the public everyday of the week and feeds the hungry souls who participate in our many and varied weekend workshops The Cafeacute also hosts a weekly lsquobeacuteile gaeilgersquo or Irish speaking lunch every Tuesday All Irish speakers including beginners are very welcome ndash cuir blas ar do theanga Special themed events are regularly held through the year when multi course evening meals attract lsquofoodiesrsquo from miles around and The Grass Roof Cafe also offers an outside catering service providing anything from a picnic to a banquet


42

Projects run by the Centre include

Community Food Project

The Organic Centre re-launched its lsquoGrowing in Confidencersquo Community Food Project in March 2007 with funding support from HSE West and the Department of Agriculture and Food The project has now established 6 organic community gardens In Sligo at St Michaels Family Life Centre and the Forthill Menrsquos Group at the Northside Community Centre in Bundoran at Glor na Mora in Riverstown at the Sligo Folk Park in Rathcormac beside the old National School and in Rossinver at the Organic Centre Participants under the guidance of an experienced organic gardening mentor learn to grow their own organic vegetables and with the help of trained tutors also learn to prepare and cook healthy fresh produce The project was initiated in 2004 in partnership with HSE West and has involved parents managing a tight budget asylum seekers older people and people with disabilities A comprehensive lsquoHow torsquo manual for groups who wish to establish similar community garden projects was launched in Donegal Town in July 2006 at a public event attended by the Minister for Agriculture and Food Mary Coughlan

Community-based organic gardens not only help promote organic gardening skills and awareness of healthy eating but also have a number of other benefits There are health benefits from increased physical activity and from consumption of fresh and affordable organic vegetables and fruit Taking part in a community garden project is a very positive experience It promotes social interaction and a great sense of shared achievement It raises awareness of the environmental benefits of local organic food production which generates fewer carbon emissions from lsquofood milesrsquo and by using natural fertilizers and methods of weed and pest control avoids the use of harmful chemicals Generally the project is a great encouragement to participants to continue growing organically for themselves and in some cases to consider growing commercially

Schools Project

As part of our lsquoPeace amp Environment Programmersquo we currently work with 6 primary schools in Enniskillen Garrison and Rossinver Experienced gardeners from The Organic Centre work with teachers and children in each of the schools to create an organic lsquokitchen gardenrsquo growing vegetables fruit herbs and flowers The project promotes lsquoeco-literacyrsquo within the context of the primary curriculum and draws upon best practices in collaborative and self-directed learning As well


43

as learning to grow their own food the weekly gardening sessions cover a wide range of environmental issues such as composting recycling and the interconnectedness of natural eco-systems Most importantly the children learn to work with nature not against it The project also involves cross-community sessions based at the Organic Centre where children from both main religious communities engage in shared activities that further develop their environmental awareness The schools also come together for a shared harvest celebration Understanding the importance of natural bio-diversity and inter-connectedness can be a very effective way for children to learn the value of religious and cultural diversity

Peace amp Environment Project

The Organic Centre is at the forefront of using gardening as a tool for peace and reconciliation in Ireland With funding from the EU we manage a cross-border community gardening project where people from both religious traditions work together growing their own fruit and vegetables Gardening is an excellent context in which to develop positive relationships between people who otherwise may have few opportunities to meet A community garden provides a non-threatening setting to develop cooperation and mutual understanding A team of Organic Centre garden mentors support 12 community gardens within the border counties of Leitrim Donegal and Fermanagh They also work with local primary schools taking pupils through all the stages of seed sowing planting out maintenance harvesting and cooking of produce Cooking together also provides an important context in which to build peace A harvest celebration takes place in September of each year of the project where project participants from both schools and community come together to celebrate their achievements and cook what they have grown Adult participants include asylum seekers womenrsquos groups and people with disabilities We will be publishing a lsquoBest Practice Guidersquo in relation to using gardening as a method for promoting peace and reconciliation The Guide and complementary video will be launched at a national conference

Drumshanbo County Council took the opportunity to restore the premises as an state of the art food specific enterprise centre of 14 individual food business units offering world class food production facilities not only unique to the area but as one-of-its kind in the country

World Class Food Production Facility Years of planning research and funding applications resulted in the financial backing of key stakeholders such as International Fund for Ireland Arigna LEADER Claacuter Enterprise Ireland Interreg IIIA Leitrim County Enterprise Board and the Leitrim County Council Taskforce Peace II funding The final result is impressive a 14 unit world class food production facility fully compliant with environmental health regulations which is now open to interested parties

Native Cattle Breeding Programme

The Western Organic Network is launching a pilot project in the North West for organic beef farmers to commence a breeding programme to preserve and enhance the numbers of native breeds in Ireland

The breeding programme to be developed will include assistance towards the cost of purchasing brood stock and training farmers on managing the breed in terms of

bull Enhancing breed quality and status bull Animal welfare bull Biodiversity planning for each farm bull Maintaining suitable grazing practices that reflect traditional grazing

patterns and maintain field amp hedgerow diversity bull Monitoring and recording on a daily basis breed activity with emphasis on

ability of native traditional breeds and their progeny to thrive on poorer quality rough grassland and withstand pests amp diseases (eg liver fluke) that are endemic to the West of Ireland

To ensure economic viability of the rare breeds a feasibility study of developing a niche market in rare breed meat sales will be undertaken Contact us for further information

Organic Broiler Production

The Western Organic Network have been successful in receiving funding for a feasibility study on the viability of a establishing a network of organic broiler growers to supply a local market A feasibility grant has been awarded from The Leitrim County Enterprise Board to investigate the project
