Ballylagan Organic Farm Description
Since 1993 Ballylagan Farm Shop has been selling home grown, seasonal, organic produce to customers from all over county Antrim, Belfast and indeed the whole of Northern Ireland. Locally grown organic meat and vegetables are available year round, as well as the most extensive range of organic groceries in the country. In late 2011 the farm opened a Tea Room which, uniquely in Ireland, makes all the food in our own kitchen using only organically approved ingredients. Early in 2012 the Guest House at Ballylagan welcomed its first customers to enjoy its uncompromisingly luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation. So whether you simply want to do a weekly shop for local produce and food you can trust, sample ‘café life’ at its very best, or enjoy a few days luxury break at the heart of a working organic farm, Ballylagan farm is the place to visit.
Reviews
Gem is acutely discomforted by the approach of the piglets because she has been taught not to interact with the farm animals, and she knows she is being watched. #tamworth #pigs #organic
There are still lots of raspberries to be picked. No need to book, just call into the farm shop for directions. Remember to bring containers.
Raspberry picking today ? Why not pop in for our lunch special, a hand carved gammon, mustard & pickled gherkin toastie with homemade tomato chutney. Sold out yesterday so when it’s gone it’s gone. #organicfood #tasty #bestseller #lunch
Today’s breakfast special -toasted brioche bap with homemade tomato chutney, rocket and scrambled egg. Add bacon if you wish (of course you wish!!). #organic #eggs #ballylagan
One of our lunch specials tomorrow, chefs special salad (can add prawns/salmon or chicken) #homegrown #fresh #handpicked #healthyfood #lunch # flowers
Getting ready for another busy week, our lovely brioche rolls baked in the tea room for our burgers and breakfast rolls #fresh #organic #homemade #handrolled #tasty #delicious
Has anyone else spotted this magnificent rose in the hedgerow on the Straid Road and how did it get there?
At last - pick your own raspberries only £6 per kilo. Remember to bring containers and that we are closed on Thursday 12th. We also have red currants and black currants for picking. Great fun for the whole family. #ballylaganorganicfarm #raspberries #organic #pickyourown
One more dessert for today (Saturday) apple, raspberry and white chocolate crumble tart.- yummy! #ballylaganorganicfarm #organic #raspberries #apple #chocolate #homemade #instagood #instabake
One of Saturdays desserts will be gooseberry fool with fresh raspberries. All homegrown. #ballylaganorganicfarm #gooseberry #raspberries #organic
One of Friday’s desserts- apple and raspberry tart. Served with Yeo Valley vanilla ice cream or fresh cream. When it’s gone it’s gone. #ballylaganorganicfarm #yeovalley #homemade
The joy of some peace and quiet! #ballylaganorganicfarm #organic #tamworth #pigs
Just finishing off the lemon meringue, one of today’s desserts.
Be sure to watch the weather forecast on BBC Northern Ireland between 6.15 and 6.30 this evening.
We use crop rotation in the vegetable field and each year an area will be left fallow. Here we have sown a mix of green manure (to improve soil fertility) and wild bird food and it is a glorious sight.
Our Boerewors is back in stock... just in time for this weekends continued heatwave. #boerewors #organic #nonasties #goodforyou #FoodNI #Belfast #BBQ #Braai #itstheweekend
Making hay while the sun shines. We don’t get to make hay every year because it requires several consecutive days of good drying weather before baling. It’s wonderful to see.
Ballylagan beef slow cooked in a barbecue sauce for lunch tomorrow.#ballylaganorganicfarm #organic #beef #goodfood
Feeling too hot? Follow the example of a pig. Make yourself a mud wallow and lie in it. Okay you might get some funny looks but it seems to work. #ballylaganorganicfarm #organic #tamworth #pigs
Went to visit the farm for the billtong initially. Although there was none, the staff were great and we had a lovely chat. A must is the Tea Room, lovely cake and scones yummy all round. It is alittle out of ballyclare but well worth a visit.
Went raspberry picking with my 4 year old today, something different & great fun. The resident doggies came over to welcome us which my son thought was cool!
Had lunch in the tearoom, pity some of the breakfast options aren't extended (wee one asked for sausages and egg) but the burger was amazing, you can really taste the difference.
Shop is well stocked and a big thank you must go to Debbie. Such a lovely lady, very knowledgable & helpful. A real asset to the farm and we will definitely be back �
We came here for lunch at around 1pm, and as a fairly regular customer I was delighted to see there was a new special available! Trio of Sliders - Beef, Lamb and Pork with sauces. Having tried a lot of the menu (all of which is outstanding), I decided to try this special.
It came out presented on a lovely slate, with the sauces just infront of each burger. The pork came with an apple sauce, lamb came with mint, and the beef came with tomato chutney.
The taste was phenomenal, they were cooked to perfection and the sauces complimented them perfectly! I would 100% order these again if they were a regular on the menu. I enjoyed them so much I even asked how often they were going to be on the menu, and found out they were going to be sold in the farm shop as bigger burgers, so I could even have them at home!
I would definitely recommend these sliders, even if you buy them from the shop and make them at home, they were excellent!
The place is beautiful! The decor, everything is absolutely gorgeous! Awesome welcome coffee, breakfast!
We'll definitely be back!
The most beautiful sandwich and soup I have ever tasted. Really recommend this coffee shop and farm shop. All their own produce.
Such a wonderful and truly special place in beautiful surroundings! We love the farm walk and everything in the lovely cafe is absolutely delicious and staff is always super welcoming and friendly. Brilliantly stocked organic shop with fabulous local fresh veggies and meats. Wished there where more places like this around!
My son and I visited the farm yesterday to pick raspberries. We had a wonderful time. Everyone was so helpful. After the fruit picking we had lunch in the beautiful tea room... absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be back!!
My family and I visit every week to stock up on all the yummy organic produce. We especially love the tea rooms and the breakfasts are a big hit with our two boys. We've attended both the Christmas and Easter family days out and highly recommend them. Thanks for our Easter egg, it's just been delivered after our son was one of the lucky winners of the tie break competition
Lovely staff, fabulous food and definitely the best scones I have ever tasted! We will be back again soon!
Lovely spot!
Lovely food, excellent service, lovely farm walk and great organic shop. Delightful.
Just had a lovely lunch of potato and leek soup cw wheaten bread...delicious...top class service and staff . Thank you Lisa and Carolyn for the great company and to Lisa Cubitt for introducing me to this special place!
I love this place: to visit the cosy tasty tea room, to peruse the exciting shop, or do the lovely walk- even in the rain. I also really look forward to the beautifully written weekly updates, which are funny, enlightening, and often moving.
Great welcome, beautiful setting, quality accommodation and generous hosting. Especially grateful as we had to leave early for the ferry so would miss breakfast and were provided with a thoughtfully prepared packed breakfast. Highly recommended.
Great breakfast, and shop is full of fresh local produce
Food is excellent love the shop next to the tea room fresh vetgetables and so much more lovely relaxing atmosphere
Everyone needs to visit here!! Well-stocked organic shop offering all the unusual ingredients mentioned in "healthy" books and web sites. Coffee shop is wonderful too and neither are over-priced for what they offer.
Called today to check on my biltong order, farm shop excellent, very friendly staff.
My friends and I had coffee and scones in the tea room ,which were delicious, Will definitely Call again,beautiful surroundings.😊
Brilliant farm and farm shop! Would thoroughly recommend.
