About Seskin Farm

Seskin Farm is situated in the valley between Sliabh na mBan and the river Suir with the Comeragh mountains beyond to the south. It is within The Golden Vale – an area renowned for Rich Soil, Pasturage and Beauty.

The River Suir is navigable from Clonmel to Waterford. Seskin was run as mixed farm down through the years being able to produce an amount of arable crops, root crops, fodder and pasture for livestock, bloodstock and sheep.

In 1826, O’Donnells farmed 66acres Potatoes, 63acres Wheat, 14acres Oats,165acres Pasture, 4acres Orchard and 1.2acres Garden.This was a phenomenal amount of potatoes and arables by any standard at this time.

This continuity has descended to present day farming. With the loss of the sugar beet industry in Ireland potatoes are again grown commercially on the farm. A further step forward has been taken by Ed O’Donnell to launch O’Donnell’s Crisps with the potatoes produced at Seskin Farm in 2010.
