Farming background

I grew up on a sheep farm in Ireland. Lived in New Zealand for 5 years and have lived in the UK for last 10 years and want to pursue my farming career. I am currently a self employed plasterer but since being in New Zealand I have grown to really enjoy learning all I can about farming and its what I would like to do in the near future as a full time job.

I worked on a large scale organic cattle farm on Salisbury plain for 4 years (2020-2024). Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances I returned to plastering in 2024. However, my passion is still in farming as it's what I love and want to pursue as my career.
