Making Nature a Priority in our Farm Business with Kate Egan
Register for this webinar at – https://bit.ly/WebinarKateEgan
Kate runs a 9-acre chemical free farm dedicated to biodiversity and permaculture in Ballymore, Co. Westmeath. She bought the farm with her partner, Tom in 2016 and is a good example of what can be achieved both in terms of habitat building and yield production in a short amount of time. Kate’s products include mainly annual vegetables, fruit and hen eggs, which are sold at a nearby market, helping to reduce food miles and support the local economy. She is a building up a farm that is climate resilient and incorporates wildlife into all parts of the farm. “Our first priority is offering a sanctuary, providing an oasis for wildlife”. Kate is a Farming For Nature Ambassador from 2019.

Co-hosted by the Burrenbeo Trust and the Farming for Nature initiative, they will take place every Wednesday between 8 and 9pm, over the next few weeks. Each webinar will give us an opportunity to virtually meet and listen to a guest speaker as they talk about their ideas, experiences and lessons they have learned in their area of work. You can text in your questions to Kate during the webinar through the QnA button in your webinar window.
