O'Grady Farm | Kildare

Glanbia Ireland

Tom, along with his parents Thomas and Mary, farms in Donadea, Naas, Co Kildare. Prior to farming fulltime Tom studied ­Agriculture in Waterford and graduated in 2014. Tom’s grandfather purchased the land over 50 years ago and subsequently expanded the operation by acquiring adjoining fields over the years. Now a third generation farmer, Tom remembers pretending to drive his father’s tractor in the yard as a kid. As the youngest child, and with five older sisters, he was almost the most interested in the farm. He looks forward to planning tasks for the day ahead and particularly enjoys Springtime and calving season because of all the new life on the farm. As an avid sport lover, Tom likes both playing and watching football, hurling and rugby in his free
time.
