On our farm we have a small herd of continental suckler cows which are calved to a Belgium blue or limousine bull.The female offspring, if not being used as replacements within the herd, are grass and meal fed to supply the meat for our farm shop, the male offspring are finished as under 24-month-old bull beef commercially.
We are Robert & Ciara Stanley, a couple with a passion for high quality food and produce - locally produced, which we aim to replicate in our shop. We also would like to use our shop and farm to help people learn and understand where their food comes from and the importance of supporting local food producers. We are very proud of our location, our produce & our local Irish producers, which we want to champion & bridge the gap between producer & consumer on a small-scale Irish Beef Farm, while taking great pride in all that we produce. Showcasing the importance of small Irish Farms, we feel, is very important to the sustainability of our rural & local environment & economy. Our love of farming and the Irish countryside can be seen from the moment you drive through the gates at Coppenagh House Farm.
As food producers we understand and know the importance of sustainability and farming for the future
All our meat is therefore fully traceable as it’s direct from our farm, prepared and packaged by our local award-winning butcher.
We process in the summer months when the cows are grazing fresh clover-rich pasture only which is the ideal diet for cheese processing milk.
During the summer the clover from the fields and blackberries from the hedgerows provide the bees with plenty of foraging.

We are use all the farm yard manure, as a slow-release fertilizer to reduce the need for chemical fertilizer. All field spraying has been greatly reduced and even removed in most areas of our farm to ensure we maintain and improve the habitat of the most important inhabitant of our farm. The Bee.
Sharing the fields with our cows are 8 hives of bees. Our good friend and passionate &award-winning Beekeeper Dermot Rothwell from Rose Cottage Honeyhas kindly placed these hives on the farm. All the honey and comb honey that is harvested from the hives can be purchased directly from the farm shop. Coppenagh is well known for its numerous chestnut trees and it’s those trees that help give our honey a unique and distinctive taste.
