Breeding Galloways and growing Barley for whiskey

This week on Organic Matters, we visit the farm of John and Marcella Mallick near Tinahely in Co. Wicklow.

They have been organic farming since 2011 and as well as running a suckler and sheep enterprise with Galloway cattle, and Scotch sheep cross with Texels, they also grow organic barley for Waterford Distillery to brew into whiskey.

They talk about their experience farming organically over the past 10 years or more from modifying animal housing to organic crop management.
