Strawberries to Cream Recap | 600KM, Organic Farms, Real Food & Good Craic

This week I’m giving you a full recap of the wonderful, magical Strawberries to Cream event. Over eighteen cyclists. Around 600 kilometres. Organic and regenerative farms. Real Irish food. Beautiful countryside. And plenty of good crack along the way. We started in Waterford and headed west, visiting some incredible farms and food producers along the way before finishing up around Limerick and celebrating at Urban Co-op. We visited West Waterford Wagyu, Ballymaloe Cookery School, Macroom Buffalo, Muckross House, Kate’s farm in Kerry and Master Chefs, tasting amazing food and learning from the people actually producing it. For me, this event is about much more than cycling. It’s about connecting people with farmers, seeing where their food comes from, tasting real food and learning how these farms operate. It’s farm to fork. It’s education. It’s entertainment. And it’s getting people out into the countryside and surrounding themselves with people who are looking for better health through real foods. We had some incredible food throughout the week — organic free-range eggs, raw milk, buffalo cheese, buffalo beef burgers, sourdough, salads, pork, chicken and even strawberry ice cream with raw milk. It was an unbelievable week and I’m super grateful to everyone who got involved. Would I do it all again? Definitely. But after 600 kilometres, I might give the bike saddle a little break first! Enjoy the recap. Stay tuned. Stay classy. Keep it organic. Get on that good stuff.
