John and Stephanie O’Hanlon farm 38.88ha in Tipper, Ballymahon, Co Longford. The farm joined the Organic Farming Scheme in 2023 and is currently in year 2 of conversion. The farm consists of 31.23ha of Grassland, 6.12ha of forestry and 1.53ha of a Riparian Buffer Zone. The main farming system involves operating a spring calving 30 cow suckler herd selling progeny at roughly 15/16 months of age over the summer months.

Angus Woods is farming in east Wicklow, just outside Wicklow Town.  He has a 65 cow suckler herd, 500 mid-season ewes and 50ha of tillage.  He is in his first year of conversion to organic farming.

John & Ivan Kiersey are organic dairy farmers near Kilmacthomas in Co Waterford. Milking 130 cows in a predominantly spring calving system, they converted their farm to organic on 1^st January 2024. They operate a high clover system stocked at just under 170kgs of organic N/Ha.
