Gaby and Hans Weiland run the Neantóg Kitchen Garden School in Cliffoney, Co. Sligo. The pair moved from Germany, along with their two children in 1985 with an aim of finding a more sustainable and simple way of life. In Ireland, they started growing organic vegetables, baked sourdough bread and subsequently established Cliffoney Organic Farmhouse Cheeses.

Gaby trained as a Nurse in her native Germany. She always had a love of herbs and decided to study Naturopathic Medicine in Dublin due to her medical background. After four years, she qualified in 2004 as a Naturopath and Herbalist.

Hans worked as a teacher back in Germany and carried his profession through to Ireland where, together with his wife, he began giving courses at Neantóg. He then went on to teach in The Organic Centre in Leitrim for 22 years. Gaby published a series of cookbooks drawing from her skills and expertise she acquired while working as a cooking instructor in various schools and community projects.
