Toohey Farm

Arrabawn

Eoin and Colette Toohey live in Cloughjordan, Co. Offaly, with their four sons, David, Killian, Brian and Cathal. Eoin’s father purchased the land in 1971 and both Eoin and Colette have been farming it since 2001. Second-generation farmers, the Toohey operation is a family one through and through. The family still farms Colette’s land 20 miles away, as well as owning and operating a fully-functioning heifer-rearing and beef enterprise in North Kilkenny. True advocates of all things nature, the Tooheys are ever conscious of nurturing the environment around them and building towards a more sustainable future.
