Farmers supporting farmers is a holistic approach to healthy sustainable farms. Farmers have being passing on their knowledge for generations. Farming in the past did not heavily depend on chemicals and machinery. Farmers were more in tune with natural farming methods. Farmers used togetherness, ritual and spirituality in their farming system. A neighbour would drop tools and help out another farmer if they thought they needed help. You would not be left to your own devices bringing home the hay if there was threat of rain. Farmers were able to survive with so little due to community and farming wisdom. Due to modern farming systems there is a risk of losing farming wisdoms and community. Irelands skilled traditional farming artisans knowledge could be lost if there is not more importance put of their wisdoms. How to handle flax, to thatch, hand cut turf, herbal cures, wool handling to name but a few need to be handed on to the next generation. We have great interest in local farming wisdoms. Any tip or cure is duly noted. We understand the value of the piece of old twine from holding up a gate to holding up the farmers trousers.
