Discover Rock Farm Slane: A Sustainable Oasis in the Boyne Valley

Rooted in Organic Tradition, Embracing Modern Ecotourism

Nestled along the banks of the mighty River Boyne in County Meath, Rock Farm Slane is a true gem of the Irish countryside. This certified organic farm has been in the Conyngham family for generations, but it's the current owners, Alex and Carina, who have transformed it into a one-of-a-kind ecotourism destination.

A Rich History Meets Sustainable Innovation

The story of Rock Farm Slane begins in 2010 when Alex and Carina took over the property, determined to convert it to organic standards. Having enjoyed walking the land for years, they saw the potential to create something truly special - a place where visitors could immerse themselves in nature while enjoying modern comforts.

Guided by the principles of permaculture and sustainable living, the couple set out to revive the neglected farmland. They introduced rare-breed cattle and pigs, established organic vegetable gardens, and built eco-friendly accommodations like the straw-bale Swallow's Nest cabin. Today, Rock Farm Slane is a thriving, self-sufficient oasis, certified by the Organic Trust and producing a bounty of seasonal produce, meat, and eggs.

Luxury Glamping and Charming Holiday Homes

The heart of Rock Farm Slane is its boutique glamping experience. Nestled in a secluded grove, the luxury yurts and shepherd's huts offer a unique back-to-nature stay without compromising on comfort. Guests can cozy up by the wood-fired stove, gaze up at the stars from their private deck, and wake to the sounds of the river and birdsong.

For those seeking a little more space, the Lime House and River House provide beautifully appointed holiday homes. The Lime House, a striking straw-bale eco-lodge, can accommodate up to 22 guests in its six en-suite bedrooms. Meanwhile, the River House, a charming 5-bedroom detached cottage, offers a peaceful riverside retreat.

Immerse Yourself in the Boyne Valley

Beyond the farm, Rock Farm Slane provides the perfect base to explore the Boyne Valley, one of Ireland's most historically and culturally rich regions. Guests can hike the Boyne Navigation Ramparts, kayak along the river, or visit iconic sites like Newgrange, the Hill of Tara, and Slane Castle.

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the farm itself offers a wealth of activities, from guided tours and farm-to-fork experiences to holistic treatments and wood-fired sauna sessions. And of course, no visit is complete without sampling the organic produce in the on-site farm shop or enjoying a wood-fired pizza straight from the outdoor oven.

Sustainable, Soulful, and Unforgettable

At the heart of Rock Farm Slane is a deep commitment to sustainability, community, and creating transformative experiences for every guest.
