Here at Bargany we are wishing everyone a happy and healthy year ahead. It has been a lovely festive period here. The weather over Christmas and New Year was particularly beautiful with the frost! The pond was frozen over, I am sure we saw a few ducks skating over it!

We have been busy getting the gardens ready for the Spring season – tidying all the areas and some new planting happening. We had significant damage during Storm Darragh at the end of last year and we sadly lost one of our large Silver Firs. This meant our entrance was closed for a few days whilst we moved it from the middle of the road.

Then unfortunately another storm hit us - Storm Eowin. We know most of our town and surrounding areas were without power for a good few days! The damage was devastating, many trees came down causing every entrance into Bargany to be blocked. Old and beautiful trees which is such a shame! The clean up operation will take some time as there was a lot of damage to the woodland areas. It was a trying few days but we made it through with our wonderful team and now we can continue to try and get the gardens ready for opening in May. We are already seeing some little signs of Spring coming through!

We've had a busy pheasant shooting season with Colin and his team running from October '24 to end of January, if you have any interest in this please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Our cattle have been in the sheds for the Winter season – being looked after and well fed! Not long before there will be the first calf of Spring and they'll be heading outside to the new spring grass.

The wildlife around us is always so lovely to watch – we are so lucky to have nature surrounding us here. The deer particularly have been a bit braver, standing and watching us whilst we drive past them!

Exciting times as always coming into Spring here at Bargany! Our Meat Boxes will be available to pre-order soon for the end of March beginning of April. We have had so many lovely reviews in response to our meat and lots of yummy dishes being made!
