With a growing appreciation of immersive experiences, nature, authentic people and local food, domestic and international visitors to Ireland are looking to meet the people who steward the land, produce great food and offer genuine Irish hospitality. For farmers, growers and food producers, this developing visitor experience draws on what you already have: your land, your family story, your place and your produce.
Delivered by Tina O Dwyer, founder of The Tourism Space, this one-day course is for anyone wondering whether farm tourism (also known as agri tourism) could work for them. Tina O’Dwyer is founder and CEO of The Tourism Space, a certified BCorp which specialises in sustainable and regenerative tourism and offers accredited training to tourism enterprises in Ireland and the UK. Based in Co. Clare, Tina is an accredited trainer, credentialed coach and professional facilitator. She has worked with farm, food and nature-based tourism businesses for over 20 years and co-ordinated the Burren Food Trail 2013-15, winning Foodie Destination of Ireland 2015, European Destination of Excellence for Tourism and Gastronomy. She has advised and supported Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland in the development and implementation of food tourism strategies.
She’ll explore the many forms farm tourism can take and you’ll spend time around the Ballymaloe Organic Farm and Gardens to see how we present our on-farm experience - including farm walks to on farm accommodation, a farm shop and a shell house.

Good to Know:
The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.
The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.
Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.
Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
