22 third- and fourth-class students from Scoil na Maighne in Thurles swapped the classroom for the cowshed last week as they enjoyed a hands-on introduction to farm life at the award-winning Ryan Family Farm in Lisheen.
The farm, winners of the 2025 NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards, welcomed the students for an educational visit organised for schools participating in the EU School Milk Scheme. During the visit, students explored the milking parlour, met the calves, and learned how milk makes its journey from grass to glass.
The experience also included an interactive nutrition session led by Dr Mary Harrington, Senior Nutritionist with the National Dairy Council (NDC), where students learned about the important role dairy plays in a healthy, balanced diet.
