Denis and Teresa Bergin, with their son David, run their family farm in Kilbragh, Cashel, Co. Tipperary, supported by their son Keith and daughter Avril. David, a fifth-generation farmer, briefly pursued a career as a jockey before returning to his true passion, dairy farming. The farm is steeped in history, with the ruins of a 12th-century village standing proudly, preserving a piece of the past. An old church and village on the Bergins’ lane are also part of the farm’s heritage. The Bergin family preserve the historical buildings that surround them as well as maintaining the land itself. The family’s love for the herd is obvious through their passionate care of their cows above all else. The Bergins exhibit fantastic family unity, often gathering around the kitchen table where everyone is involved in the decision making for the farm.
