    There is a definite move back to farming selling straight to consumers, far more environmentally friendly ...reusable containers, and farmer gets more value for product...Great to see it

    That was a great watch, better than ear to the ground IMO . Your a natural at interviewing people and asking the right questions without interruption.
    Loved the little clip of the dog at the start. I noticed he mention ice cream and that a family member worked in that business already. Surely they could add that do there own business in the future 🤔

    The milk and shakes are great. My daughter lives in Clane and uses a local dairy farm. When she comes to visit us in Dublin, she brings milk, milkshakes, and eggs. Its actually a lot cheaper when you
    re-use your own cleaned bottles.
    Excellant service and so clean. The grand kids would rather visit
    it than fas

    Great video. We have a local family dairy close to us here in western Pennsylvania that processes their own milk. They have a storefront, they bottle their own milk, make special flavors and make their own ice cream. It is great to see farms finding ways to cut out the middle man and market directly to the consumers.

    Absolutely fantastic video today sir. You and your daughter make a great team.
    What goes around comes around. I grew up with a milkman that came Monday through Friday. A vegetable farm down the road and a meat farm within a mile. Every thing was fresh and tasted a whole lot better than what is sold in groceries today. This was before Disney ruined Florida.
    I'm so glad that it's coming back. The States need to look at what Ireland is doing.

I know there will be super farms around the world that have 1000’s of cattle and one human with a ton more still but this level of farming there is so much going on to know. Modern farmers are not given enough limelight as to what is involved . Computers , food standards , economics, before you even get started on the animal / land side of things

    Enjoyed the farm tour and seeing another operation that has the milkshake machines. I watch Tom Pemberton's channel and besides the farm store they also have the milkshake machines. I'll have to see if any local farms here on my side of the pond do the same thing. There's not a lot of dairy farms in my suburban South Carolina area but you never know! When I was a kid growing up in South Central Pennsylvania back in the 70's we had dairy farms all around us. We got our milk from our local dairy, Ashcombe Farms, with the big glass gallon and half gallon containers. Had a milk box on our porch for when we had it delivered. 😊 We'd go to the farm store too and the milk parlor was right beside the store, and you could see through a big window when the cows were gettibg milked. The farms used Holsteins for dairy pretty exclusively - never saw Jerseys or other breeds much, but that was a loooong time ago now! 😄🐄❤

  • @everestyeti
    @everestyeti 10 месяцев назад +2

    Really interesting to se what other farms do to make money, that can be ploughed back into the farm. Like how they are also using modern technology to save time, I watch Tom Pembertom on U-Tube and he now uses the collars, such a good idea when you have a large herd for not only seeing what the cows are producing but checking on their welfare as well. You too could have a milk machine, but think your girls will probably drink away any profits. 😂😂🤣

Also Adrian, Andrew mentioned your channel in one of his videos, more than a year ago. That's how I found your channel. You have the world's best agricultural channel, Adrian.
