'Our small suckler farm in the West wasn't enough to make a living, so we set up an organic micro-dairy'

Sinéad with the plaque she and Mick got as ambassadors for National Farming for Nature While Sinéad was looking into high-nature-value farming, she and a friend set up an online directory for farming, and it was through this she met a lot of farmers “doing things differently”. “It was through those connections we saw the potential to farm as a lifestyle and make a living, even at our scale, and we decided on micro-dairying.” The farm is laid out with 17 acres in one block of 11 paddocks and two outside fields and has never been farmed intensively. In 2017 they sold weanlings, reared with no meal or inputs, averaging €630.
