Eric and his son, Austin, are based in Tralee, Co. Kerry, and have been farming together for the past number of years. Eric’s wife Tina, and their other children, Emer, Hazel and Rachel also reside on the family farm. Eric, a fifth-generation farmer, took over the farm when he was just 15 years old. Austin is currently studying Agricultural Science in Tralee and is passionate about working on and taking over the family farm in the future. The farm is steeped in history - the original house was built over 300 years ago, and Eric’s father and uncle, who farmed the land before him, previously delivered milk around Tralee by pony. The family’s love for farming is evident in their passionate care of their cows above all else.
