Christmas Gift Planning - Decide What You Need Yourself Before Telling Anyone Else

As a visitor to our website, you are the very first to be told about our Christmas gift options, and you are the first to be given the option to order. We are not going to start promoting them for another week or so. We have everything here in Ireland, as everything is made in Ireland and will be delivered in time for Christmas.

So we didn’t win, well here in Mayo we are used to that, and still so very proud of who we are and the amazing achievements of our team.  Here at Velvet Cloud we got a consolation prize when www.lovin.ie  featured us in their Best Social Media Reactions To The All Ireland Final result and the celebrity chef Neven Maguire has given us a mention.

As you can probably imagine, its great fun to be from Mayo this week (September 9th 2021) , we felt we had to get in on the act too, so Siobhan The Sheep and Siobhan The Sheep Junior have been painted red and green, and are loving the attention, you can also see a video of them too on our social media.

In the last week or two, we've been very fortunate that some more of Ireland's best chefs have been posting and promoting their creations using Velvet Cloud Yogurt and Rockfield Cheese, here are a selection of a few which might inspire.

Apologies I haven’t had a chance to blog in a while, its been a mad few weeks. We took a few days off a few weeks ago and while that was lovely, it just meant that double the amount of work was waiting for us when we got back, so there wasn’t a lot of time for writing.  We’ve been pushing hard to get the word out about any SuperValu or Centra being able to stock Velvet Cloud yogurt, so that

This week we were in the media, found a delicious yogurt sauce recipie for lamb burgers and we have the latest SuperValu stockists update.

This is a huge development for a small business like ours!  It means that any Super Valu or Centra in the country can now order our sheep's yogurt from the Musgrave warehouse and have it on their shelf within 48 hours.

We were delighted to welcome the sixth-class students from our local national school to the farm this morning. They were able to cycle here and thankfully the rain stayed off so we could do the visit without getting wet.

Barbeque Inspiration

The Barbecues were out this weekend, and we got some lovely ideas, from customers around the country, plus the sheep's milk momentum is growing.

It started off last Saturday with our very first customer visit since inter-county restrictions were lifted. We called in to say hello to Brid in Honest2Goodness Market in Glasnevin. If you are in that area or even passing through, I would highly recommend a visit, the covered market offers fine wines, and an amazing selection of artisan specialty foods, with many producers manning their own market stalls. Brid was one of our very first customers five years ago and I still remember the excitement when she put in an order.
