Glanbia Ingredients Ireland
Gerard and his wife Kathleen are third generation farmers on their land near the small village of Owning, Co Kilkenny. Gerard took over the farm from his parents Eamonn and Margaret who live beside them and are still very involved in the farm. Eamonn still fondly remembers a time when they milked each cow by hand on stools. They have three children, David, Niamh and Evan and a beautiful dog Cassie that joins in on the odd game of hurling. Gerard’s work ethic, routine and knowledge of the herd are major contributors to his success.
