ABOUT THE FARM HOLDING

John and Bridget have a 15 hectare seaside farm, with a small tree plantation.  They grow their own vegetables and keep cattle for 6 months in the summer to graze the fields.

They have owned the farm since 1981 and have enjoyed developing it while their children were growing up and now enjoy living in such a scenic spot.
