An open farm outside Belfast was closed this month amid concerns over an E.coli infection.
Five people who tested positive for the infection had recently visited the Streamvale farm. The farm owners said they had carried out an extensive cleaning programme and that the farm was subsequently inspected by the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSE NI).
One of the owners, Judith Morrow said they were delighted to reopen following the positive outcome of the HSE NI inspection. She added, "It's business as usual again after this short voluntary closure and we look forward to welcoming visitors, old and new, through the doors to enjoy all our favourite attractions."
In recent weeks, 14 cases of the bug have been confirmed. While no source has been positively identified, five of the 14 cases either went to the farm or were associated with it shortly before being tested positive, according to the Eastern Health Board.
Children and pensioners are especially vulnerable to E.coli 0157, which is normally found in the intestines of people and cattle and can be passed on by eating infected food and liquid.
