Marriage made in heaven

IT ALL began after Kate Carmody’s mother presented her with a cheese press and an instruction book when she got married in 1984.

June Feeny told her daughter as she prepared to marry Patrick Carmody, of Béal, Co Kerry, that dairy farmers should make their own cheese.

It was the start of a journey that has seen Kate, who grew up in Liverpool, develop a hobby into a business and convert a traditional dairy farm into organic production.
