Leaning green – powering our plants

Our teams are continuously assessing the latest technologies and processes to ensure our facilities become ever more efficient and achieve our vision for sustainability.

Our long heritage in quality grains

Tirlán has a long heritage in grains as the country’s largest buyer and user of Irish grains. Due to our strong investment in a state-of-the-art milling facility, we have positioned ourselves as a sought-after gluten-free oats provider which has delivered strong premium contracts for our farmers.

Our grass-fed cows

When it comes to our herds, our cows spend most of the year outside grazing on acres of rich and plentiful grass. Due to our temperate climate with abundant rainfall, in winter they move inside and enjoy a diet of grass ensiled from the fields during summer.

Protecting water quality

We are proud to be associated with the creation of a new programme to provide one-to-one on-farm assessments to focus on water quality.

‘Farmers Have Hearts’ campaign

We have joined forces with key partners to undertake research and to help encourage the hardworking farming community to prioritise their wellbeing.

Our Open Source™ Future Farm Programme

Our Open Source Future Farm programme, run with state advisory body Teagasc, seeks to harness advancements in technology and farm practices to support farmers to make changes for a more profitable and sustainable future.

Biodiversity and Nutrient Management Planning

We understand the importance of promoting soil health and biodiversity on farms. These yield strong benefits in terms of the ecosystems on farm and optimising animal and plant performance.
