THE ORGANIC CENTRE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Organic Centre Company Limited by Guarantee is a charitable organisation dedicated to promoting organic horticulture, sustainable living and community-led education in the heart of North Leitrim. Set on a 19-acre site on the banks of Lough Melvin, the centre offers a vibrant programme of courses, workshops and events that range from practical gardening and fruit-tree grafting to willow basket-making, dry-stone wall building, renewable-energy sessions and wild-mushroom foraging. Seasonal highlights such as Potato Day, the Willow Bread Basket masterclass and the Organic Horticulture Course provide hands-on experiences for families, hobbyists and aspiring growers alike.

In addition to its learning programme, the centre runs a shop selling organic produce, heirloom seeds and related supplies, and organises guided tours that showcase the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Membership and volunteering opportunities allow supporters to contribute to the centre's mission, while a board of trustees steers its development. Backed by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Pobal, The Organic Centre continues to foster a thriving, low-impact community rooted in the values of stewardship and education.
