Joe McCrohan, Irish Farmer

Where many had to leave left, there are those who were lucky enough to stay. Standing proud on these lands that have seen so much over the years. Running a farm in Reenard, South Kerry and raising a family of ten children is no small feat, which farmer Joe McCrohan Sr and his wife of over 50 years, Mae, have achieved with a lot of graft, wisdom and determination. The rewards were worth it. He has everything to be proud of, this is his Kingdom here in the kingdom of Kerry. Joe reminisces: “where could be a better place to work in the whole world than in these green fields with the Ocean at the bottom of them and a flock of children, teaching them about the land and sharing the work”.
