Saol na Feirme returns to RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Monday 24th February at 8.30pm.
The six part Irish language series explores the lives of seven Irish farming families as they try to navigate the unpredictable challenges of the past 12 months. Set against the backdrops of Armagh, Antrim, Clare, Galway, Laois, and Roscommon, the series delves deep into the lives of farmers managing tillage, dairy, beef, sheep, and vegetable businesses.
In the lowlands of Roscommon, sheep farmer Matty Carroll tends to 120 ewes. He has a deep respect for tradition and the land which was passed down from his father and grand uncle. A proud member of the Galway Wool Co-Op, he is passionate about preserving the value of wool, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Keeping heritage alive, he also raises a few Galway sheep, a rare native breed.
