Aurivo Co-Operative

Peter Hamm, a first-generation dairy farmer from Moate, Co. Westmeath, has been working the family farm since 2014. Married to Caroline and father to Kate and Jack, Peter is a driven individual that understands first-hand the work that goes into starting and growing a dairy farm. Having attended agricultural college in the mid-nineties, Peter proceeded to run a construction business for 10 years, while rearing sucklers, before entering the world of dairy in 2014. Aside from dairy farming, the Hamm family are avid racehorse lovers and enjoy exploring new parts of the country. Kate and Jack are their fathers’ biggest fans and can be found on the farm with Peter, body-boarding in the West of Ireland or tending to race horses.
