Welcome to Part 1 of my special Irish omnibus! Yep, in mid-September 2017 I headed over to County Clare in Ireland for a few days surfing and to catch up with some friends for the podcast. First up is Irish surfer and farmer Fergal Smith.
Ferg’s the man who turned his back on a successful pro surf career to head back to Ireland and establish a community farm in Lahinch on the west coast.
Today, Moy Hill CSA Farm, run by Fergal, Matt Smith, Mitch Corbett and an array of helpers, feeds 50 local families from a 17 acre site.
I headed up there to find out more from Ferg and got the lowdown on the whole project, as well as the new Moy Hill Crowdfunder campaign. Find out more and donate: www.moyhillfarm.com
Thanks to Chris Cracknell (@6ftstereo) and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
