Dutch Organic Dairy Farmers Enjoy A West Cork Farm Experience

A group of Dutch organic dairy farmers from Friesland visited West Cork last week to learn more about dairy farming in Ireland

Their tour, organised by West Cork Experiences, gave them the opportunity to learn about dairy farming practices in Ireland – from cutting edge research to life on the ground here in West Cork. The visit was hugely enjoyed by the visiting farmers and their Irish counterparts, who relished the chance to exchange views and ideas with other EU dairy farmers. The group also had the opportunity to visit Teagasc’s Moorepark facility and meet Alan Jagoe (National President Macra Na Feirme 2011-13; President CEJA 2015-17; Teagasc Authority 2013-18).

Our Dutch visitors found time to enjoy some of the great hospitality and artisan produce West Cork has to offer too, bringing their own cheese with them to exchange with their Irish hosts!
