Hi there! My name is Darragh I’m 35 years old and live in a typical 150 year old Irish cottage in Kerry over looking the Atlantic Ocean on the wild Atlantic way. I am heavily involved in renewable electricity production and operate a number of small hydro electric power stations in the West Corkand Kerry mountains. I also own a small organic farm around my house and keep rare breed sheep . I am just undertaking building a 200m2 pollytunel for growing vegetables, this is a live project as I write this (July 2020). I also have just restored a separate cottage next to my house to a very high rustic standard and can provide a very nice separate place to stay.
I am looking for someone to help finish the tunnel project and help out maintaining animals and the land in general. I love to cook for people and eat almost exclusively an organic diet.
I also enjoy brewing lots of hedge row sparkling wines, beers and ciders depending on what time of year it is. I have been doing this for over 10 years and would be happy to share knowledge and know how of how to complete the fermentation process.
I expect hard help for a few hours a day, I live 5Km from the town of Kenmare which is a vibrant little town known for the food and music scene. I can provide an electric bicycle if you like for you to travel to town of explore the local area.
My little farm is not a commercial business and all produce is consumed locally on site throughout the year.
