Real Leaf Farm. Ireland’s first 100% Hydroponic Farm.

Better by Nature
Better for Nature

At Real Leaf Farm, in the peatlands of Co. Offaly, we like to call this a farming (r)evolution. Revolution because hydroponics uses three simple ingredients to produce densely nutritious leaves all year round. Natural light from the sun, local water and elemental nutrients. Evolution because we are taking the best of the past to build the best for the future. Our deep-water culture system uses significantly less water than soil-based farming and every drop is recycled to produce leafy greens 365 days a year. Our farm uses no herbicides or pesticides, a win-win for our consumers and our land.

This is Ireland’s first 100% Hydroponic farm. This is smart farming for a sustainable planet

Join us as pioneers in bringing goodness back to its roots and transforming our local communities.

Real Leaf Farm. Fresher & more Nutritious.

Here at Real Leaf Farm it is our mission to grow fresh, nutritious leafy greens for the local food market using sustainable hydroponic farming methods that have low environmental impact. The elimination of herbicides and pesticides not only makes us a provider of clean, natural, food products but is better for our environment, leaving no residues behind. 

Through smart farming and advanced growing technology we are:

• Using less energy, land and water.

• Eliminating the use of pesticides or herbicides.

• Delivering fresher, more natural food.

• Upskilling and re-energising local workers to provide employment in local communities.

• Able to ‘leave no trace’.
  

Our range includes Red/Green - Batavia, Frisee, Lollo Rossa, Oak Leaf, Butter-crunch and Little gem varieties that will be delivered all year round with excellent freshness, shelf-life and nutrient content.

Real Leaf Farm. Bringing Goodness Back to its Roots.

No Food Miles
No Problem

Factory farming, deforestation, food transportation, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil erosion are affecting our world and our lives. As more and more people migrate to urban areas, there is an increasing distance between the food people eat and where the food is grown. The increase in food miles and food transportation contributes further negative environmental impacts. Growing our food closer to our markets dramatically reduces use of fossil fuels, improves the shelf life of our range and reduces food waste.

The benefits of a Real Leaf Farm are:

• Low environmental impact

• Reduced use of Fossil Fuels

• Locally produced

• Reduced food waste

“To preserve natural habitats and improve worldwide food security there needs to be a complete overhaul of food production methods.”
