        The Great Irish Farm Book

        by Darragh McCullough/Sally Caulwell

        Life on an Irish farm can be idyllic, working in sync with the seasons to produce food for the table. It is also very hard work, looking after animals and growing crops. In this wonderful big book Darragh McCullough introduces each of the animals commonly found on Irish farms, from cattle to chickens, while also looking at rarer types such as alpacas and snails. He also looks at farm machinery from tractors to combine harvesters, and reminds us of practices from the past, and investigates the farms of the future. With a special focus on the environmental aspects of farming and the changes we can make to make it more sustainable, this book will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in food production, farming processes or simply cute animals.
