点评:We had the pleasure of visiting the Kylemore Farmhouse as a last minute family trip during our stay in Galway and I feel the need to positively reflect on the farm experience.
We were met by the owner the farm, Teresa Roche, and had an introduction to the farm tour experience. We were given shoe coverings and taken to walk through the farm, getting the opportunity to feed baby cows and view the milking facilities. Additionally we got to have hands on work with the animals and even got to walk a pony! The whole farm tour was extremely informative and i especially enjoyed getting to see the depth of work that goes into making and raising quality cows.
The cheese tour was a highlight. From the curing facilities to the aging, we even got to cut into a 3 year wheel and taste the rich nutty cheese made from the farms own bred cows! There was no shortage in samples and tasting, paired with honey from the farm as well.
The afternoon ended with a large home cooked lunch with fresh bread, charcuterie and tea. All homemade or locally produced.
The whole experience was so personal and family oriented. From the tour, to the tastings and the lunch, we felt the care and consideration in every detail. Truly an unforgettable day. I strongly encourage you to come and support this genuine small business and indulge in a love of food and farming.
Tourist tip: we found it best to book the tour by calling the farm directly from their number on the farm’s website to best inquire a reservation time. You can even call through your hotel if you do not have an international call plan on your cellphone.
翻译:我们很高兴在戈尔韦逗留期间作为最后一刻的家庭旅行参观了凯利莫尔农舍,我觉得有必要积极反思农场的经历。
农场主人特蕾莎·罗奇(Teresa Roche)会见了我们,并向我们介绍了农场参观体验。我们得到了鞋套,并被带去穿过农场,有机会喂养小牛并参观挤奶设施。此外,我们还必须亲自与动物一起工作,甚至还可以遛小马!整个农场之旅内容非常丰富,我特别喜欢看到培育和饲养优质奶牛的深度工作。
奶酪之旅是一个亮点。从腌制设施到陈酿,我们甚至切成了3年的轮子,品尝了由农场自己饲养的奶牛制成的浓郁坚果奶酪!样品和品尝并不缺乏,还搭配了来自农场的蜂蜜。
下午以丰盛的家常午餐结束,包括新鲜面包、熟食和茶。全部自制或本地生产。
整个经历都是非常个人化和以家庭为导向的。从参观、品尝到午餐,每一个细节我们都感受到了细心和体贴。真是难忘的一天。我强烈鼓励您来支持这家真正的小企业,并沉迷于对食品和农业的热爱。
旅游提示:我们发现最好直接通过农场网站上的电话号码致电农场来预订旅游,以便最好地查询预订时间。如果您的手机没有国际通话套餐,您甚至可以通过酒店拨打电话。
