Fairy Trail at Long Meadow Farm

We were delighted to welcome two groups, Cabin Club (morning) and Little Oaks (afternoon) from Drumcree Community Centre to Long Meadow Farm.

There was such excitement as the children walked through the orchard on a fairy trail mission to where our orchard fairies live and work.

They also enjoyed an orchard tractor ride, arts and crafts, chalk walk drawings, games and bubbles.

It was a very enjoyable experience for both children and staff.

Please contact us should you be interested in a visit to Long Meadow Farm.

Irish Cider Vinegar

Naturally Loaded with Healthy Enzymes and Probiotics! Pure & Unfiltered Containing ‘The Mother’.

The Mother is the strains of proteins and bacteria that form when Apple Cider Vinegar is left unpasteurised and raw. She might appear as large cobwebs or as a small darker particles in the Apple Cider Vinegar. Either way, don’t be afraid of her. She’s what makes our ACV so special and we recommend keeping her in your daily dose, however you may chose to enjoy it.

What’s Good about Apple Cider Vinegar?

Several ingredients found in Apple Cider Vinegar serve to enhance its reputation as a true health benefit. Calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, malic acid and pectin are several of the minerals which it has in perfectly balanced amounts, which gets most people’s attention.

• Potassium – enhances bone and muscle strength.
• Malic Acid – promotes energy to fight infections from harmful bacteria and fungus.
• Acetic Acid – lowers the blood’s pH levels thereby creating an inhospitable intestinal environment for bacterial & fungal infections.² ³
• Pectin – facilitates regulation of blood pressure and removal of bad cholesterol.

Benefits (According to Customers Testimonials).

• Reduced arthritic pain & inflammation.
• Lower cholesterol levels.
• Relieves throat pain by gargling.
• Reduces the itchiness and soreness of eczema and dermatitis.
• Helps with weight loss and suppresses appetite.
• Reduced gout pain.
• Regulates blood sugar.
• Many people have also told us it’s great for colds, flus and sinus problems.

How to Use.

• The secret is to take daily, 10ml in warm or cold water but not boiling, never take undiluted.
• Mix Apple Cider Vinegar with water and honey for a refreshing morning drink; the honey is also beneficial to your immune system and provides energy.
• You can use Apple Cider Vinegar when you’re making a salad.
• If you like to pickle fruits & vegetables, raw apple cider vinegar is a very healthy choice.
• Add Apple Cider Vinegar to your regular blend of herbs & spices when you mix marinades for meats.

It is always best to consult your doctor and continue with any prescribed medication.

Important Note.

Natural products such as Apple Cider Vinegar and its benefits cannot be substantiated by professional means. Even though they are time proven and if a search is done – (benefits of using Apple Cider Vinegar) – using Google, there are a myriad of examples to be seen.
