Brandon McLane and Grace Maher, Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow is part of the WLP Social Farming Initiative and they live on an organic farm where they have built their own straw bale house.
Brandon knows every square inch of the house as he built it himself and is willing to share this knowledge with the Social Farming Participants. There is also a willow coppice, heritage apple trees and a chicken run on the farm. A number of polytunnels and additional land make up this farm. The willingness of Brandon to share his extensive knowledge of building and farming makes Social Farming placements on this farm an extremely fun place to learn new skills.
