Another Rainy Day? Brr-illiant!
“A little rain never stops Larry. Even inside the milking shed there’s plenty of work to do, making sure his cows stay happy and well.
Larry loves the sound of rain, especially when he’s warm and dry inside. Listen along as the clouds open up above the milking shed.”
Ever Been To a Farm? Surprisingly, only 1 in 5 Irish People Have
“Larry’s cows love nothing more than stretching their legs around the field and munching on freshly grown grass. Om nom nom.
Have a listen to the sounds of a happy herd, on their way to the field for the day. How many cows can you hear?”
GOOD MORNING SLEEP WELL!
“Every day on Larry’s farm starts before sunrise as the birds begin their dawn chorus.
Listen to what a morning might sound like, as Larry does his rounds and checks on the herd.”
To guarantee the quality of our milk, we are really selective about the farmers we partner with, and more importantly, how they farm.
The farmers who supply us are all genuinely passionate about the quality of the milk that leaves their farm, the welfare of their herd and the land they make their living off.
Only when a farm satisfies our Quality Assurance Programme can it begin to supply milk for Avonmore.
Shane O’ Loughlin, Monasterevin, Co Kildare
Shane is the third generation of his family to farm in Monasterevin. His father Dermot started dairy farming in 1943 and started supplying the local creamery in Monasterevin in 1960. Back then it took six men to milk their 24 cows by hand but Shane now employs modern technology to milk his 200 cows to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
Trevor & David Bennett, Abbelyleix, Co. Laois
David has been farming with his father Trevor since 2004 but Trevor has farmed beside the heritage town of Abbeyleix in County Laois since the early 70’s. Trevor witnessed the transition from bringing milk to the local creamery in Raheen in churns to the modern system employed by Avonmore which ensures maximum traceability and quality.
