Organic right choice for Rory, a city boy turned farmer

Dubliner Rory Magorrian is delighted he has made the move from graphical printer to organic farmer.

When you arrive at Rory Magorrian’s busy 20 acres and white farmhouse in north Cork, you quickly understand why he and his family are basing their lives and business here: the farm is nestled in the hills between Ballyhooly and Glenville.

Rory’s wife, Sheila, and their three dogs greet me at the gate. Sons Seán, 4, and Dylan, 3, emerge from the kitchen. Rory strides across the bare concrete yard to shake my hand. We step through a ramshackle wire gate and begin to stroll across the farmland.
