Kevin and Liz Collins reside at their family farm in Carhoovauler, Ballineen, Co. Cork. Also living on the farm are their two young children, 10-year-old Ellen and 4-year-old Tommy, Kevin’s sister Mairead and father, Ger. Kevin is inspired by the unwavering dedication of his father Ger, who still lends a hand with the milking, and his wife Liz, who, along with the entire family, helps run the farm. For Kevin, every day in the original homestead is a walk through history and their farm is a sanctuary where they care for their cows. Generational changes, such as upgrading their facilities to a modern parlour in 2008, underscore the family’s openness to embracing technology’s transformative potential. Beyond the farm, the Collins family are involved in local clubs and charitable events and are successful fundraisers for an Autism Unit in Dunmanway, a cause close to the family’s heart.
