Tuam dairy farmer leading raw milk revolution

FROM Michelin-starred restaurants to five star hotels, a Tuam dairy farmer has found his niche with his new artisan product, raw milk.

Jimmy’s Farm Milk is produced by James Hannon in Deerpark, off the Bermingham Road, and since it launched last month, the product has been gaining a growing customer base.
Along with Ashford Castle, voted one of the top hotels in the world this year, James is supplying shops and cafes throughout Galway and Mayo, delivering over 600 litres of milk each week.
The fourth generation of dairy farmers in the family, James has recently added to his herd of 50 Friesians to meet the growing demand for the product.
