Organic Vegetable Farm

Gort-Na-Nain farm supplies high-quality vegetables to Cork City's best restaurants, which include Café Paradiso and Jacobs-on-the-Mall. Café Paradiso, Irelands premier vegetarian restaurant, has a worldwide reputation for innovative cuisine and owner/chef Denis Cotter is the author of several acclaimed vegetarian cookery books.

The nine-acre smallholding of Gort-Na-Nain has now been the main supplier of Café Paradiso for over five years. Working closely with Denis Cotter, Ultan has selected a huge range of the finest tasting organic vegetable varieties that can be grown in the climate of the South Irish coast. Many people who visit Gort-Na-Nain who are not familiar with the effect of the Gulf-Stream on Cork's South Coast, are amazed to see relative exotics such as aubergines, chilli peppers, borlotti beans, winter squash and globe artichokes growing side-by-side with the more conventional vegetables like potatoes, cauliflowers and salad crops.
