Name: Alan & Vivian Woods
Farm type: Dairy
Alan has been farming all his life. Along with 50 dairy cows, there are a small number of pedigree Charolais cattle and a few commercial cattle. The farm is run by Alan and Vivian with help from their school-aged children.
The home farm is located along the beautiful Lough Conn. There are lovey walkways throughout running over the fields and towards the lakeshore. It is a true nature reserve and the National Parks and Wildlife come on a weekly basis, keeping track of the flock of protected bird species and habitat.
Alan was runner-up in the prestigious BORD BIA – Origin Green awards in 2018.
Vivian has been an active community member working alongside many community projects, local walks, festival events, and other community activities. The family takes advantage of all their community has to offer including fishing, boating, mountain climbing, and walking in the local woodlands or on the marked looped walks
