Goatsbridge Trout Farm
The story of Goatsbridge Premium Irish Trout begins in the shadows of one of Ireland’s well known historical landmarks, at Jerpoint Abbey near Thomastown, Co Kilkenny. Back in 1180, Jerpoint Abbey was colonised by Cistercian monks who were known for leading an austere life of prayer and hard work. They made the land and waters productive through hard labour. They didn’t eat meat, rather they fished in the fast flowing waters of the Little Arrigle River in the heart of the Nore Valley, where husband and wife team, Margaret and Gerard Kirwan continue the proud tradition today.
Why Eat Trout?
Trout is available all year round and is quick and easy to cook. Trout not only tastes delicious, it is also low in calories, high in protein and valuable omega 3 fatty acids and is also a very good source of vitamins A and D.
