Celebrating National Farm Day with Dublin Rural LEADER

National Farm Day Ireland is a time to recognise and honour the incredible contribution of farmers to our rural communities, local economies, and national food security. At Dublin Rural LEADER, we proudly support the farming community and are committed to promoting sustainable rural development across County Dublin’s rural areas.

Why National Farm Day Matters

Farming is more than a profession—it’s a way of life. From tending livestock to growing crops, farmers work tirelessly to produce the food we rely on every day. National Farm Day Ireland shines a spotlight on this essential sector, acknowledging the dedication, resilience, and innovation that defines Irish farming.
