Mother and son duo Catherine and Edward Bowe farm in Two-Mile-Borris,
Thurles, Co Tipperary. Edward’s father passed away in 2011 and he returned home
to work in a partnership with his mother. He is the fourth generation to work on
the farm. Edward and his wife Roseann welcomed their first child, Liam, earlier
this year. Edward’s great-grandfather, who was on the first-ever All-Ireland
winning hurling team in 1887, first farmed the land in the early 1900s. The
Bowes are proud that farming plays a strong part in their community and
neighbours help each other out. The Bowe farm were one of 500 farms to win the Cell Check Award in 2018. Edward and his family love going to GAA matches and walking the Galtee Mountains in
their free time.
