The Tommerup family hosts Eat Local breakfast on their Kerry farm

Farmer Kay Tommerup said the event had fully booked out at 50, with visitors warned that mornings had been cold on the farm.

Guests arrived for 7am, rugged up and ready to experience life on a dairy farm.

Fortified with coffee and steaming bowls of porridge topped with local honey and Tommerups cream, the group made their way on foot to the milking shed where Dave Tommerup gave them a demonstration of how milk is produced.

Several people were given the opportunity to have a go at milking one of the cows.

The group then saw how cream is separated from the milk.

The Tommerup children Harry and Georgia, all grown up now and on to other careers, were on hand to show how butter is made on the farm.

Ms Tommerup said the butter made on the day was served up for breakfast after the tour.

"Almost everything we served was made here on the farm," she said.

"We had vegetable frittata made with Tommy's Eggs, our own bacon and ham served with sourdough from Arthur Clive's bakery."

Guests were also treated to waffles with creme fraiche, lemon curd and buttermilk ice cream all made from Tommerups produce.

Tommerups will be hosting a Backstage Pass event on Wednesday, subject to changing COVID-19 regulations.
