Egan Farm

Kerry Agribusiness

Eoin Egan lives in Abbeydorney, Co. Kerry, with his wife Siobhán, two small children, Ruairí and Síne, and his parents, Frank and Mary. Eoin, Frank and Mary work in a three-way partnership, with the Egans farming the land since the early 1800s. Eoin has been farming with his parents for as long as he can remember. He always showed a huge interest in the farm from a young age and spent as much time as he could learning the ropes from his father. Frank took over the farm full time at the age of 19, and distinctly remembers taking the bus into school at the age of 14 and longing to join the farmers he passed by each morning. Frank and Eoin have a keen interest in modern science and technologies and are always looking for ways to improve processes on farm.
