Cathal

Cathal is a fifth-generation farmer who has been working on the family farm since he was a child.

He is dedicated to traditional farming practices that help preserve the previous Burren landscape of the area and has an innate flair for animal husbandry. Totally immersed in farming and the cattle trade, Cathal also provides support to the local Gort Mart. He has also completed the Green Cert Programme through Teagasc.

Bronagh

Bronagh, a Cavan native traded her a career in nutraceutical sales for a totally different pace when she moved to the Irish west-Coast to help Cathal run the family farm. Struck by the awe-inspiring beauty of the land, she developed the farm tour concept to showcase traditional farming methods and the land’s vast biodiversity. She is passionate about health, nutrition and wellness and the rejuvenating benefits of the Burren Farm Experience’s wellbeing programs. Bronagh is a qualified Regional & Eco Tour Guide, and a member of the Burren Ecotourism Network and Local conservation charity Burrenbeo. In recognition of her achievements, she was named a finalist in the 2019 Corrib Oil Women in Farming awards.
