The Dominican Sisters established the Dominican Farm and Ecology Centre in 1998 on their 70-acres of land in Wicklow. It is an organic/biodynamic farm and Centre for Ecology and Spirituality

An Tairseach, is the Irish word for threshold and it suggests a new beginning, an alternative and more sustainable way of working with the land as well as a renewed relationship with the whole community of life, human and non-human.

Three main aspects of An Tairseach are:

• A Centre for Ecology and Spirituality
• An Organic Farm and farm shop
• A Conservation Area suitable for field studies
