Ridgeway Farm is a family farm operated by John and Michelle Hourigan in County Wicklow on the beautiful island of Ireland. Under the guidance of an animal nutritionist, Wagyu cattle on Ridgeway Farm are fed a healthy and sustainable diet of lush grass, energy rich grain, sustainably sourced chocolate and olive feed all while enjoying the freedom of verdant Irish pastures.

Our Wagyu cattle love their chocolate treats and the glucose in chocolate is proven to activate and enhance the production of intra-muscular marbling in the final stages of maturation which results in tender and juicy Wagyu beef with a distinctive, delicious flavour.

On Ridgeway Farm we also recognise the importance of excellent breeding.  We only utilise top genetics sourced from world renowned Wagyu sires so that our Wagyu beef consistently achieves the highest levels of Beef Marble Score.

On Ridgeway Farm we are committed to creating a stress-free and healthy environment for our herd of special Wagyu cattle.  The importance of sustainable food production and animal welfare underpins all activities on Ridgeway Farm.   We continue to focus on optimising our performance in key areas of sustainability including livestock, feed and pasture management.  Our Wagyu Beef is fully traceable from Farm to Fork.

We supply Wagyu Beef from our farm in Wicklow to restaurants, butchers, premium retailers and households across Ireland and Europe.
