Who we are .....
Mission and Purpose
Airfield is a place that reconnects people and nature, it is a place where they can reflect, be replenished and celebrate the fusion of man and nature through the activities of farming and gardening. We aim to nurture a respect and awareness of the natural environment. We offer a range of inspirational, active learning and cultural experiences that grow out of Airfield’s natural resources. We aspire to make Airfield accessible to people of all ages and communities.
"Airfield is Dublin’s only working farm within the city boundary, despite being surrounded by the built environment it still has the ambiance and feel of being on a country farm. It is thanks to the foresight and altruism of the Overend family that we can enjoy this amazing place today, having established the Trust in the 1970’s, today the Trust is used to inspire and educate people about food, farming and the natural world. " Kathy Purcell, Director
