Patrick Banville lives at Barry’s Cross, Taghmon, Co. Wexford, with his wife Carmel and children, John, Brian and Orla. Patrick has been farming the family farm since 1990. The eighth of eleven children, Patrick always showed a huge interest in the farm and spent as much time as he could learning the ropes from his late father. Patrick’s grandfather married into the farm in 1919, he was regularly called on in the local area to assist at calvings and cure cases of milk fever. A lover of the outdoors, Patrick believes he inherited his relatives’ love and gift for caring for animals. The family ethos of working hard at whatever you do in life is still evident today.
