Live From The Ballymaloe Festival Of Food: Ireland’s Modern Farmers

Host Kerry Diamond heads to County Cork, Ireland, for a special episode of Radio Cherry Bombe, recorded live at the Ballymaloe Festival of Food, presented by Kerrygold. Join Kerry as she chats with four inspiring figures helping to shape Ireland’s vibrant culinary future: award-winning dairy farmers Dara & Beatrix Killeen; female farmer advocate Vanessa Kiely O’Connor, a.k.a. The Dairy Fairy; and legendary food icon Darina Allen, founder of the Ballymaloe Cookery School and the new Ballymaloe Organic Farm School. From regenerative agriculture to tech-forward farming, these changemakers are redefining what it means to farm with purpose in Ireland today.
