    Hi, I live in south Dublin and I was looking to buy some organic eggs straight from a farm, would anyone know of any farms close to this area?

    Hi, welcome to Boards :)

    I've moved this to the Dublin County South forum because you're more likely to get helpful replies here.

    Give Tim a shout at Oldcourt Hill Farm. He does Free Range Eggs.

    We have an allotment on the Farm. It's at the base of the Mountains just above Firhouse.

    TBH I hate to admit it but it's a while since I bought them. When I got them last year it was €2 for a half dozen. As I said we know Tim because we have an allotment on his farm.

    €2.70 per dozen.

    They're mixed size so you might get some small and some big or all small/all big within a box but they're all excellent. I love a guggy egg and there's nothing like a super-fresh one from just up the road for that.

    I didn't really see the point in giving the lower price that only applies for another 19 days and will probably apply to new customers immediately.

    Fair enough - I was more correcting the fact that you said it was per dozen but its actually per half dozen.

    Yeah, in fairness €2.70 for a dozen organic eggs would be AMAZING value. I pay €1.89 for half a dozen large free-range eggs in Aldi.

    Ah Tims a great fella, I went up before to have a look at the allotments and ended up having a scone (baked by his missus!) and a nice cup of tea and a chat.

    He is a sound guy. If you like organic local honey, a local beekeeper keeps bees on Tims land too.
