Good Herdsmen Ltd is the biggest, private marketing group for organic lamb and beef in Ireland, used by organic farmers from all over Ireland to market their organic meat.
It is the longest established name for the marketing of Irish organic meat. Our suppliers are organic farmers, partly from Ireland's longest established organic farms. For us, organic meat is not an interesting sideline of our business. Organic farming is our sole interest.
We did not jump on the bandwagon when the pioneer work was done. We did the pioneer work and still pull the bandwagon.
Today, Good Herdsmen has everything you need for a reliable organic meat supply:
The biggest volume of supply of organic lamb and beef
Continued lamb supply from May to February
Excellent value for money
Professional administration

Trading solely in organic meat. No other meat.
Four EU approved abattoirs, located strategically in the four corners of Ireland, are certified for the slaughter of the livestock of our organic farmers by the Organic Trust.
The Organic Trust is an organic certification body licensed by the Dept. of Agriculture and contained in the EU list of approved certification bodies.
