LAOIS ORGANIC FARM
Maria Phelan, who farms in Durrow, believes an organic system has many co-benefits that will allow biodiversity to thrive on her farm. Methods such as hay meadow plots, crop rotation, laying hedges and no use of chemical fertiliser or spray means that healthy and fertile soil provide a platform to promote and encourage biodiversity. Maria has become an accidental spokesperson for this space because her straight talking approach is now gathering fantastic support online.
