Highbank Organic Farm in Co. Kilkenny was a 17th century farmyard and the present farm house was built by the Calder-Potts family in the 19th Century. The first apple orchards were planted by the Rod and Julie Calder-Potts in 1969.
Highbank Orchards are a fully organic farm, they have used no pesticides or chemicals on the land for over 30 years.
