We are very excited about the launch of GEOfood in the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geoparks which takes place on the Saturday of the Burren Slow Food Festival. The launch will include insightful talks and delicious tasting sessions from our GEOfood producers. presentations from food growers, sellers and managers and informative talks about GEOfood given by its founder and our Geopark manager.

GEOfood is a brand for local food within UNESCO Global Geoparks. It aims to connect people with the local traditions, geology and heritage of the place through local food. With such a strong tradition of food production that dates back for thousands of years, GEOfood is a natural fit for the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark. There are countless food stories to be illuminated, in the Geopark and that is what we aim to do.

This is just the beginning….
