WATCH: Laois eco farmer turning big profit on Ear to the Ground

A Laois farm featured on RTÉ's Ear to the Ground agricultural television show this week.

Fior bhia Farm in Boughlone, Portlaoise is producing high quality meat at a premium price, with very little overheads and a big profit.

It is farmed by Brendan Guinan, who keeps his animals in the open all year round, living under woodland for natural shelter and eating waste food. He is making a 70% profit for the high quality meat produced, with little more than one small tractor to pay for.

Watch the six minute segment from the show.
