We’ve been a little quiet on here… but not on the farm 🌊🦪 While our doors are still closed to the public for now, there’s been plenty happening behind the scenes, tending to our shellfish, planning what’s next, and putting the groundwork in for a big season ahead.

We’ll be reopening locally in April, and we’re very excited to be launching our new Shellfish Tours & Tasting Experience too. Until then, you’ll find us out on the water doing what we love, getting everything just right. Stay tuned! 🦪🍋‍🟩🌊

“A tasty new Co. Kerry visitor attraction is bringing shellfish, aquaculture heritage, marine biodiversity and fourth-generation storytelling to the Wild Atlantic Way.

Réalt na Mara Shellfish, an award-winning aquaculture business run by fourth-generation fishers based in Cromane, has opened a Shellfish Tour & Tasting Experience which includes a fully equipped visitor centre and multimedia hub.

The development of the Shellfish Tour and Tasting experience was selected for funding by the Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) Southwest, under the Coastal Communities Development Scheme, receiving a grant of €10,000 for this project.

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, Timmy Dooley TD, said:

“FLAG funding is designed to strengthen coastal communities, and Réalt na Mara Shellfish is a perfect example of that vision in action. This investment supports the local tourism and aquaculture industries and showcases the best of what can be experienced along the spectacular southwest coastline.”

We welcomed the young #TasteTheAtlantic chefs from @bordiascaighmhara and @chefnetworkirl during the summer. We loved sharing the journey of our family business in aquaculture, from our history and traditions to the sustainable practices we use every day. Nothing like a day on the water with future culinary talent, surrounded by the beauty of Cromane. The birds-eye view of Castlemaine Harbour was captured by the talented Mark Watson @notjustapawnireland
