On Monday , the 11.11.2024, Carlow Mart buzzed with energy and camaraderie as farmers from across the region came together for Farmer Well-Being Day. This event, organised by Macra, Healthy Carlow and Healthy Ireland, provided a wonderful opportunity to network, share experiences, and access vital health and wellness information tailored for the farming community.

The morning was filled with conversations that emphasised the importance of mental and physical well-being. From tips on staying active to resources for managing stress, the day highlighted how vital it is to look after both body and mind in an industry as demanding as farming.

As part of the event, we were delighted to join in, sharing information and connecting with those in attendance. The conversations reinforced the value of community support, especially in rural areas, where challenges can often feel isolating.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Macra, Healthy Carlow and Healthy Ireland for the invitation and their dedication to organizing such impactful events. The positive energy and engagement at Carlow Mart show just how much these initiatives matter to our farming families.

Here’s to more events like this that bring us together and remind us all of the importance of well-being in every part of life!
