Sustainability

At the heart of Bramble Green's story are authenticity and sustainability.  We want you to feel that you are buying a treasured piece when you shop with us.

Many of our knits are handmade by true artisans and sourced very locally. 

We go no further than Europe to produce our knitwear and most of our products are made here in Ireland. 

Our home life is also a sustainability project for our family. We are purposefully farming the land we own beside our home to encourage wide varieties of wildlife to return. 

Some of our main projects are:

- maturing our Irish Apple orchard (we planted back in 2018).  For the last 2-3 years we have had a fantastic crop of apples.

- balancing the ecosystem on the land by creating new habitats. For example we made our own wildlife pond which has seen the arrival of frogs, a diverse range of insects and even ducks. We have two ducks that now fly in and visit us!

- animal husbandry. We have two cute and friendly sheep called Bramble and Ella. They are a breed called Valais Blacknose which originates from the Swiss mountains.  They are natural lawn mowers which is great. 




- vegetable garden. We have raised beds towards the back of the land where we are growing several varieties of potatoes, carrots, beetroot and rhubarb. 



- solar panels. We invested in solar energy and attached panels to one of our buildings to reduce our consumption of grid energy.
