TRISHA’S TIPS
“Turkey is an amazingmeat that is lean and high in protein, so this is amazing if you are watching your diet. Lean meats contain less saturated fats, so overall they are better for your health and in general have fewer calories! So the option that I would pick would be a turkey crown and remove the skin to save on the calories!”

EDWARD MAGUIRE
“I am the fourth generation of Maguire to walk these fields. We have always had poultry here,” says Edward Maguire. “We have produced eggs, chicken and turkey on this farm since 1951. The sight of the turkeys running around the field on a frosty morning always puts a smile on my face. They are cared for not only by me, but by my family too. Producing birds of this quality gives us a chance to do something special once a year, to produce the star of the Christmas dinner. It’s a journey that starts in August. They need that time to be at their best for Christmas. They are free ranging with access to their fields from dawn until dusk, seven days a week and enjoy picking through the leaf litter under the mature Ash trees in their field. The elderberries, blackberries and hawthorn berries growing in the hedge don’t last long either once the birds discover them.”

“I have been involved in pig farming since I was 14 years of age,” reflects PJ Mullaney. “During summer holidays I would help out on a neighbouring pig farm in my home town of Castlebar, Co. Mayo. It’s where I fell in love with pig farming. Over the years I’ve spent invaluable time learning about the industry on a number of great Irish
and UK pig farms, finally settling back in my home county of Mayo in 2016 with my wife and kids. We love the uniqueness of our ham – you get a distinct flavour from Berkshire pigs and the satisfaction of knowing we are producing a high quality product with plenty of juice and flavour which can be enjoyed by families all around Ireland.”

TRISHA’S TIPS
Go above and beyond this Christmas with our extraordinary hams, roast goose, duck and chicken. All lovingly reared in Ireland and specially prepared to make your Christmas dinner amazing. LUXURY CENTREPIECES.
“My tip for reheating would be to do it slowly and thoroughly. I place my ham on a tray and I would drizzle it in honey and cloves, I would then place a cup of water in the tray to create steam. In the oven at 160°C, slowly bring the ham up to the core temperature of 70°C and then increase the oven temperature to 220°C for 10 minutes to add colour and caramelise my honey.” Trisha Lewis

DANIEL HICKEY, GOOSE FARMER
FRESH WHOLE IRISH GOOSE
This award-winning goose, reared in the wilds of Roaring Water Bay in Skeaghanore, West Cork by the Hickey family, makes for a show- stopping Christmas centrepiece.
Daniel Hickey has worked with his parents on Skeaghanore farm since he was a boy. This, he says, is an extraordinary place. “There is something special about our geese grazing their fields, the weather is starting to get cold but still sunny during the day. It really is picturesque and quite satisfying to sit and take in the beauty of the
landscape. We are only a stone’s throw from the sea. The field is like a sea of white and green, which overlooks Roaring Water Bay and stately Kilcoe Castle. It’s also the secret to producing award-winning geese. We believe the sea air adds a unique flavour to our geese you may not get anywhere else.”
