Tinnock Farm Tipperary

“We live and produce our goods at Tinnock Farm Tipperary, a Smallholding in the Slieveardagh hills. Our small-holding includes an area of hazel coppice, vegetable gardens, a young orchard, streams and paddocks. We aim to grow as much of our food as we can, and are closer to achieving our goal every year. We are firm believers of living as simply as we can with as little impact on our piece of the world. Zero waste and reducing our plastic are vitally important to us.

As well as being our home, Tinnock is habitat to a range of native Irish flora and fauna including Long Eared Bats, Red Squirrels, Pine Martin, primroses, bluebells and cowslips to name a few.”

Environmentally Friendly Products

Tinnock Farm’s goods were born out of a desire for simple, environmentally friendly products. They believe in using all natural oils that are sustainable, vegan, free from paraffin, palm oils, dyes, and have no unnecessary packaging.

Their candles are lovingly handcrafted and produced on a very small scale in their farmhouse using 100% natural soy wax and cotton wicks.
Their scents are produced using high quality fragrance oils and essential oils and are inspired by life around their farm. Hours of testing insure that each candle provides customers with maximum fragrance throw and burn times. Likewise, their soap is made in the traditional cold process way and left to cure for 6 weeks. Full of nourishing olive oil and shea butter with essential oils, the soaps are gentle enough for any skin!
