O'Donovan Farm | Cork

Drinagh

Father and son duo William and Dan O’Donovan farm in Minanes, Drinagh, in West Cork. William is the fourth generation to farm the land and has been working with his father for as long as he can remember. Spending time milking cows and driving tractors has always been one of his favourite pastimes. Now a father to three young children, Alice, James and Clara, William’s family are lovers of countryside living and spending time outdoors. William takes pride in the fact that farming in Drinagh creates and supports so many jobs in the community. The O’Donovan’s are supported by a tight-knit network of neighbouring farms and suppliers that are always looking out for one another.
