A new booklet exploring traditional farming practices, the importance of the family farm, social isolation and the advent of online marts will take place at Glór centre in Ennis on Monday, November 13.

The booklet is part of the initiative ‘Clare Farmers Weaving Stories Together’ and captures the visual stories of five mart areas in Clare.

The event is organised by Clare County Council’s Healthy Clare, Clare Memories, the Irish Farmers Association and the HSE’s Mid-West ‘Connecting for Life’.

Councillor Joe Cooney, president of Clare County Council said: “I warmly welcome the launch of the new booklet as it reflects Clare’s rich agricultural heritage, captures a moment in time, and focuses on new opportunities”.

Free tickets for the booklet launch and Health and Wellbeing Expo can be booked at yoursay.clarecoco.ie/farmers-weaving-stories-together.
