Hurley Farm | Cork

Barryroe

Tadhg Hurley’s family farm is in Bandon, Co. Cork. He lives there with his wife and kids, Helena, TJ and Charlie. After working with a number of different farms in West Cork, Tadhg moved home seven years ago and entered a partnership with his father, Finbarr. Tadhg’s grandfather purchased some land in the area in 1936, it had a dwelling, a few stalls and 18 cows. Tadhg’s father took over the farm and subsequently grew it to the size it is today. TJ and Charlie, 4 years and 2 years, have begun to show a huge interest in the farm and love nothing more than driving in the cows and feeding calves.
