Fodder in the Woods We are a farm shop and cafe situated in the beautiful Finnebrogue Wood. We are dog friendly.

We sell our own grass fed Dexter beef from our farm shop and have short walking trails through the woods and by the lake.

Update for Storm Boelo... trails closed at the moment but cafe and takeaway open as usual 😄🍂

🌿 **From a little farm shed to a woodland café we’re so proud of 🧡**

What started with selling our family’s Finnebrogue Woods | Weddings & Events | Bushcraft & Feasts Dexter beef from a small farm shed has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. From our farm shop beginnings to the café we have today, it’s been quite a journey, and one we’re incredibly proud of.

At the heart of Fodder in the Woods has always been our love of good food, quality local produce and creating a warm, welcoming place for people to come together, relax and enjoy themselves.

We’re so grateful to our amazing team, our wonderful local producers and, most importantly, all of you who continue to support us. You’re a huge part of our story, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you. ❤️

A special thank you to The Irish News and journalist Sophie Clarke for taking the time to share our story and shine a light on our little corner of Finnebrogue Woods. It means a lot to us!

And as for what comes next… we’re always dreaming up new ideas, so watch this space! 🌱✨
