Can Farming Thrive in a Protected Landscape?
Tony Grogan farms 22 hectares in the Glen of Aherlow, Co. Tipperary, rearing a purebred Aberdeen Angus suckler herd under a fully organic system since 2015. With the River Aherlow, a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for freshwater pearl mussels, bordering his land, Tony manages the farm sustainably with precision and care. Since the designation and converting to organics, he has been able to sustain output in comparison to before but with none of the cost.
How? By farming with nature, not against it.
