Fable Tours - farm to table tours and tales
Margaret loves bringing guests on immersive experiences along Irelands' Wild Atlantic Way. Her own organic farming background gives her a unique relationship with farmers, fishers and small food producers.
Join her as she shares her love of the natural landscapes, the role sustainable farming plays in protecting the natural environment and her extensive knowledge of the native flora and fauna. She may even stop and pick some edible native Irish plants.
Meet the farmers and fishers, the cheese makers, the growers, the bakers, the foragers and innovative chefs. You'll meet native Irish speakers committed to preserving small scale farming culture and those that came for a holiday, fell in love, and stayed.
