Farming Advice
We're All in the Same Boat. But Together, We Can Get Ahead.
Farming is hard enough. The right people behind you can make a difference.
We're All in the Same Boat. But Together, We Can Get Ahead.
Let's face it. It's not easy being a farmer in Ireland today. Electricity bills are high. Diesel is expensive. Labour is hard to find. The cost of running a farm continues to rise, and no matter how hard you work, there's always another bill around the corner.
We know that. And we're not going to pretend otherwise.
But here's the thing. We might not be able to control the cost of electricity, diesel or milk prices. But we can do something about the areas where we have influence.
And that's exactly why Feirm Co-op exists.
Feirm Co-op isn't just another business selling products to farmers.
We're a farmer-owned cooperative, built on a simple belief: Irish farmers are stronger when they work together.
With over 900 farming members, we have something powerful behind us. Collective buying power.
When hundreds of farms come together, we have greater strength to negotiate better prices on the products farmers need every day. And when we can reduce those costs, we want that benefit to reach the farmer. Because at the end of the day, we're all facing the same challenges. But being a cooperative should mean more than competitive prices.
It should mean having someone at the end of the phone who understands farming. Someone who listens when you're under pressure, gives you straightforward advice and helps you find the right solution for your farm.
We're not here just to sell you something. We're here to help you get ahead.
One Co-op. Two Businesses. One Purpose.
You might be thinking, "Sure, aren't they just another co-op?"
We understand why you'd ask.
But Feirm Co-op is doing things differently.
Feirm Supplies — Helping You Control Farm Costs
Every farm needs supplies. From animal health and dairy hygiene to fencing, workwear, minerals and everyday farming essentials, the list never ends.
And neither do the costs.
At Feirm Supplies, our aim is straightforward: to keep the price of farming essentials as competitive as possible while providing the quality, service and expert advice farmers deserve. We believe farmers should be able to pick up the phone, talk to someone who understands what they need and get honest, practical advice.
Whether you're trying to reduce costs, improve efficiency or simply find the right product for the job, we're here to help.
Because saving a farmer money is important. Helping them make the right decision is just as important.
Feirm People — Helping You Get Your Time Back
We also know that money isn't the only pressure on Irish farms.
Time is another.
Finding reliable farm staff has become one of the biggest challenges in the industry. And when there's nobody available to help, the responsibility falls back on the farmer.
Early mornings. Late nights. Seven days a week.
Milking, feeding, calving, paperwork, maintenance. The work doesn't stop.
That's where Feirm People comes in.
Our recruitment and labour business helps Irish farmers find the people they need, whether that's long-term staff, temporary labour or additional support during busy periods.
We want to help take some of that pressure off farmers, giving them more time to manage their business, focus on their families and enjoy some of the life they're working so hard to build.
Because getting farmers ahead isn't just about saving money. It's about giving them back some of their time, too.
We're Not Going to Promise to Fix Everything.
We can't bring down your ESB bill.
We can't control diesel prices.
We can't guarantee what you'll get paid for your milk or livestock.
And we certainly can't make farming easy.
But we can listen.
We can use our collective buying power to help keep farm input prices competitive.
We can offer experienced advice instead of simply pushing products.
We can help find staff when the workload becomes too much.
And we can keep looking for better ways to support the people who keep Irish farming going.
That's what being farmer-owned should mean.
We're More Than a Name Above a Door.
We're not interested in being just another co-op
We want to be the cooperative farmers actually feel the benefit of being part of
.
One that understands a farmer's challenges. One that picks up the phone. One that works hard to keep costs down. And one that stands beside farmers when times are tough.
We won't always have the cheapest product on the market, and we won't claim to have every answer. But what we can promise is that we'll keep working to make farming a little more affordable, a little more manageable and a little less stressful.
Because when our farmers do better, our cooperative does better.
And that's the way it should be.
Feirm Co-op. Farmer-Owned. Farm-Focused.
