As well as farming, Kevin is a member of An Garda SĂochĂĄna. Like many Irish farmers, it would be impossible to sustain a family on farm income.
Think about that, one of the most important jobs, producing our food, and farmers often need a 2nd job

Why is Atlantic Erris lamb special?
sweet grass & herb fed lamb, with lots of extra clover, chicory & plantain, itâs naturally seasoned by the sea salt in the Atlantic sea breeze (possibly more of a howling gale in Belmullet!)
This is farming with nature in #Ireland

We lament the closures small, rural abattoirs, but unless we actually support them & those who produce our food, theyâll be gone forever.

How much more traceable can you get?

Finally, if you are still asking...âwhy donât farmers just grow vegetables on their landâ, you have never been to the Belmullet peninsula!
