Store Hours
Our online shop is always open, but the store in Glenealy is closed during January 2012, see you in February!
OOOOBY ("Out Of Our Own Back Yard") is a new local food initiative. The first OOOOBY Store in Ireland was set up by Carraig Dúlra farm in Glenealy village, Co Wicklow, and features local produce, food growing supplies, ecological products, crafts and fairtrade. Other OOOOBY stores are being set up around the country - all of them completely independent.
The volunteer-run non-profit store supports the local full food circle from growing to buying to preparing food, through encouraging the creation of a community food network. Come meet the producers, share & exchange skills & information in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
If you are interested in setting up your own OOOOBY in your local area, we are happy to help to spread the concept nation-wide, and we can work with you and provide support, advice or training as needed. Our OOOOBY Network poster gives an quick overview of the links we've found most useful in the Irish pilot store in Glenealy, Co Wicklow.
You can also visit our OOOOBY store site on the international OOOOBY network. Note that most OOOOBY information on that site is New Zealand based; OOOOBY was first created by Pete Russell in NZ.
