Arriving at AislingQuoy was quite literally entering a little slice of paradise. The smell of hay filled my brain and washed over my body, giving me a shiver of pleasure down my spine. I can already tell that Lyndal and Steve are brilliant, lovely people and I aspire to absorb as much knowledge from them as humanly possible. We take a stroll around the property, meeting all of the animals and getting to know just a bit of background about them. The passionate care that Lyndal has for family of animals is truly beautiful to see, and I am excited to become best friends with all of them.

Lyndal teaches me all of their names, and I take notes but it will take some time to remember all of them. I am shocked by how much personality they have, each and every one is quite different. As I pet them I think of how amazing it feels that here at this farm,  they are incredibly in touch with where their food comes from. In fact they get to know it well, and these animals are so very respected in every aspect of their lives.
