We were so proud to hear Gareth, Daniel and Asa speaking on RTÉ Radio 1 about their experience working at Airfield through our GROW programme.

GROW supports adults with intellectual disabilities through meaningful work, skill-building and connection across Airfield. Their warmth, honesty and pride captured exactly what the programme is about.

🐝 Happy World Bee Day from Airfield Estate!

Did you know we're home to 12 colonies of bees right here on the estate? These incredible little pollinators are quietly working away to help grow the foods we eat everyday. Bees are small, but their impact on our food system is enormous.

Here are two simple ways you can help bees thrive:
🌼 Plant wildflowers — even a pot on a windowsill makes a difference
🚫 Avoid using pesticides in your garden or green spaces

Next time you spot a bee, remember: there’s a good chance it’s helping put food on your plate 💛🍯

We're hiring a Finance Manager! ✨

We’re looking for the right person to help drive the financial sustainability of one of Dublin’s most unique working farms, gardens, and food education spaces. From budgeting and reporting to supporting strategic growth, this is a chance to play a key role in an organisation connecting people with food, farming, and nature every day.

If you’re a detail-oriented finance professional who wants their work to have real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
