German scholarship group enjoy Irish farm life
Amongst the projects they have been involved with
are building a bridge and clearing invasive rhododendron bushes from a
native woodland on the farm. This is essentially part of the overall
environmental project on the farm. They plan to have a big bonfire with
all of the branches! Every day, they collect eggs from the hens, help to feed the pigs, goats
and hens and they pick grapes and berries which grow in the greenhouse.
This week they even helped the farmer Colin kill a turkey and then they
plucked it before cooking it for dinner! The two boys, Denis and
Marvinseem like working with the animals and the two girls, Joyce and
Mihriban are taking very good care of a family of kittens who like to
play in the garden outside their house. Overall they are really enjoying
life on a farm in Ireland.
