This week on Organic Matters, we meet mixed farmers John and Fiona Curran in Co. Meath. The Currans manage a range of enterprises, including turkeys, tillage, beef and sheep. Fiona speaks to our presenter, Hannah Quinn-Mulligan, about raising turkeys for the Christmas market, while John talks through the ins and outs of the tillage, cattle and sheep enterprises.
The Curran’s are currently growing winter barley, sold as animal feed and milling oats, which are sold to Flahavan’s. The tillage is complemented by suckler-to-beef and lamb enterprises, with the majority of cattle raised to beef and sold to The Good Herdsmen, while the lambs are processed organically by Irish Country Meats.
