FARMER AMBASSADOR

Caroline Hanrahan

Caroline Hanrahan and her husband Ger own and operate one of the 17,500 family-run farms in Ireland, producing milk and other milk products with their 350 strong dairy cows. Caroline is well-used to farming, having grown up on her own family farm, before getting a science degree in University College Dublin. A few years later, she married Ger, and the pair have been working together, along with their five children, in the dairy business ever since.
The Hanrahan farm located near Ballyhooly in north Cork has been in their family’s hands for six generations and across that time they’ve seen a lot of changes throughout the dairy industry in Ireland. The family currently supplies to Dairygold.

Shane’s a young farmer who believes, rightly, that young people are going to be most affected by the sustainability decisions that are made today. Therefore, he says, young farmers should have a say in policy, as it affects dairying, and have some influence in how the industry goes about achieving its goals.
