Sustainable food from Broughgammon Farm

Broughgammon Farm is located outside Ballycastle a few miles from Ballymena. We, at Ballymena Today, have mentioned them many times before as they have sold their tasty produce at both Raceview Mill Market and Antrim Castle Gardens. The family run business offers the finest produce from the farm including veal and goat. If you have ever had the chance to sample some of their burgers or food at a food fair or even then you will know that Broughgammon meats are exceptionally tasty. If you haven’t sampled anything yet then see them at St.Georges Market every Sunday. The Cole family has had an active role in farming and agriculture in the Bushmills area since the late 1700’s. However, Broughgammon Farm was established in 2004 when Robin and his wife, Millie, returned from a career abroad to live “The Good Life’. Since then each member of the family has had their own unique impact on the business, which is now headed by Charlie and Sandy.
