Plot-Share in Louth: What to Know

Private tip: Louth's coastal strip and the sheltered drumlins of the Cooley Peninsula offer excellent growing microclimates. Many farms in the Cooley and Boyne Valley areas have south-facing plots ideal for vegetables, and landowners here are generally open to arrangements.

Homegrown is bringing together growers and potential hosts across Louth. Registering helps show where local growing space is most needed.

What Grows Well in Louth

Louth's coastal location brings mild winters and cool summers — ideal for salad leaves, root vegetables, spinach, and brassicas year-round. The sheltered areas of the Cooley Peninsula can grow surprisingly tender crops given the north-east's reputation.
