Plot-Share in Kilkenny: What to Know

Private tip: Kilkenny's rich limestone soils and dry, sunny climate are excellent for growing. The county's food culture — centred on Kilkenny City's market and its acclaimed food festivals — has created real demand for locally grown produce and knowledgeable growers.
