Premium Irish Wagyu Beef from Ridgeway Farm in Wicklow
Ridgeway Farm is a family-run farm in County Wicklow, Ireland, operated by John and Michelle Hourigan. Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s lush countryside, the farm is dedicated to producing premium Wagyu beef with a strong focus on animal welfare, sustainability, and traceability.
​
Working closely with animal nutrition specialists, the Wagyu cattle are raised on a carefully managed, nutrient-rich diet of grass, grain, and sustainably sourced supplementary feeds. The herd is free to roam Irish pastureland, supporting a low-stress, natural rearing environment that prioritises wellbeing and quality.
​
Ridgeway Farm places a strong emphasis on genetics, using carefully selected Wagyu bloodlines sourced from world-renowned sires. This commitment ensures consistently high levels of intramuscular marbling, producing beef known for its tenderness, succulence, and depth of flavour.
​
The farm operates with a focus on responsible and sustainable food production, continually improving livestock care, feed efficiency, and pasture management. Every cut of beef is fully traceable from farm to fork.
​
Ridgeway Farm supplies Wagyu beef to restaurants, butchers, premium retailers, and households across Ireland and Europe.
In addition to beef production, Ridgeway Farm also produces Ridgeway Skincare, a premium range made using Wagyu tallow. Rich in skin-compatible lipids, it is designed to support the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and leave skin feeling nourished and smooth.
