The farm
The farm
The farm consists of 180 acres located in the Lagan valley, two miles outside the village of Newtowncunningham, Co Donegal in Ireland. A further 200 acres has been added to the farm on long term lease to increase its capacity. Each year around 100 acres are used for the production of spring barley which is stored on the farm and sold throughout the winter months. The farms sheep flock consists of 300 commercial ewes made up form a mixture of Texel, Suffolk and Charollais breeds, we usually purchase around 600 store lambs for finishing each season. New on the farm in 2012 we have started a Charollais pedigree flock which we will be looking to show throughout the year ahead.
Agricare
Agricare was started by Jim Devenney 20 years ago with the primary aim of providing an honest and reliable service to the farming community specialising in seeds, fertilizers and agri-retail products such as crop protection to local farmers. We also provide a personal crop management service, where you have you crop reviewed and accessed by our crop experts and relevant advice given. On a national scale we import and distribute the Glendale livestock system for livestock farmers throughout Ireland.
