Ballinafagh Farm
A tillage farm that grows its own forest
Ballinafagh Farm is a family tillage farm in Prosperous, County Kildare, run by Tom Tierney with his daughter Erin. Since 2000, roughly a sixth of the farm has been growing as continuous cover forestry, and our firewood comes from thinning it.

Why it is sustainable
The forest is thinned, never cleared
Continuous cover forestry means the canopy stays standing. We take selected trees and leave the rest growing, so the soil, the shade and the wildlife stay where they are.
Alongside the forestry, 7% of the farm has been taken out of production as a space for nature, and the tillage ground is farmed no-till to keep the soil intact.
Provenance
Grown, cut and split at Ballinafagh Farm
This firewood does not come from a wholesaler. It is thinned from the forestry on Tom Tierney's family farm in Prosperous, County Kildare, then cut and split on the same ground — so you can go and look at where it grew.
Conservation agriculture
No-till tillage since 2014, with hedgerows, compost and soil health managed alongside the crop.
Continuous cover forestry
Planted from 2000 and thinned selectively, so the canopy is never cleared.
Recognised work
Tom won the biodiversity category of the Teagasc FBD Environmental Sustainability Awards in 2025.
