Sweet taste of success for landscaper turned farmer in the Dublin mountains
Producing what’s been acclaimed as ‘the best honey in Ireland’ wasn’t on the agenda when Olly Nolan began farming a smallholding on the outskirts of the capital eight years ago
Olly Nolan, a landscaper by profession, didn’t have any intention of starting his own honey business when he bought a house in the Dublin Mountains. Almost eight years later, however, Olly can barely keep up with demand for his honey.
“Myself and my partner Christian moved here in 2012; I’m originally from Killiney, South Dublin and Christian is Canadian,” says Olly.
