A community-supported agriculture scheme was established in 2008. Members of Cloughjordan community farm are drawn from the eco-village and surrounding area. The farm aims to supply members' families with much of their food using biodynamic principles.[3] The farm cultivates 12 acres within the eco-village.

Village Education Research and Training (VERT) is a working group within the eco-village. It is committed to running courses encouraging best practice in sustainable living.[4]

Twenty nine near zero-energy buildings in the village were open to the public during the "Near Zero Energy Buildings Open Doors Ireland" event held in November 2013.[5] Other NZEB Open Doors events took place in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, France, Malta, Slovenia, Poland under the NZEB 2021 program promoted by the European Union.

A community amphitheatre, created within the eco-village was opened by Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland in April 2017.[6]
