So Farm24 is here! Every year #Farm24 celebrates the amazing work that British Farmers do to put food on our tables ๐Ÿ‘ I do not farm however I work in the supply chain for @PromarSustain. Today I will be tweeting about how I got further involved in this amazing industry ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ”
My passion for the industry developed from a young age. I got experience from my dads family farm in kanturk, Ireland. I used my waitressing money to fly over every opportunity I could and when I was 17 I drove 400 miles (9hrs incl. a ferry) to the farm. #Farm24
I wanted to gain more experience in the industry I loved. So I started to working for other people, including Allowdale Herefords (a pedigree hereford farm in Kanturk) and Foston Grange (a mixed farm in North Yorkshire).
This led me to study BSc Hons Agriculture with Marketing at @HarperAdamsUni.I learnt about Food Marketing (which is now my number 1 passion)& about the shopper, consumer demand and how to support farmers by making sure British Produce is flying off shelves. #Farm24
During my time at @HarperAdamsUni,I helped with lambing at 3 different farms (in Warwickshire,Shropshire & Abergavenny), I worked for Flyde, Fresh & Fabulous (a small potato processor), I worked for ABP during a summer and completed a years placement with Avara Foods! #Farm24
One of the best things I did was go to @HarperAdamsUni. I truly believe it opened up so many doors for me in the agricultural and food industry. My placement year with @AvaraFoods was unforgettable, I had an incredible experience with the category management team. #proudofpoultry
Finishing University I joined @PromarSustain as a Research Analyst. The role is flexible and varied. Their is a mixture of exciting and interesting marketing/trade/food industry/agricultural projects. Promar helps farmers and the agricultural supply chain gate to plate ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ”
