Ed Lindsay

Custodian and Owner of Finnebrogue Woods

Ed Lindsay is current custodian and owner of Finnebrogue Woods, a 230 acre estate near Downpatrick, Co. Down. Having cut his teeth in the retail motor industry, Ed set up his first business renting Scandinavian tipis all over Ireland just as the financial crash of 2008 was taking hold. As the tipi business was growing from strength to strength, he took on the ownership and running of the family estate from his father, with the sole purpose of keeping it going while simultaneously avoiding financial ruin. With no real business plan or dazzling long term strategy, Ed set about trying to secure the future sustainability of the farm creating a lakeside wedding venue, farm shop, café and a school of bushcraft. He is married to the amazing Rachael with 3 adult children.
