Grandparents’ wisdom is being embraced by a 23-year-old west Cork farmer, who recently graduated from Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) with a degree in agricultural science.
Nicole Keohane farms in Innishannon, alongside her grandparents, John and Anne Keohane.
“We run a dairy enterprise comprising just shy of 100 cows over a 40ha land base,” she said.
“I’m quite lucky to be surrounded by the wealth of knowledge they have built over the decades, and to this day I am still learning from them. I have two siblings – soon to be three – but neither of them have ever taken any interest in the farm as they have found their own passions,” said Nicole.
