She’s the first to tell you she’s a dairy farmer’s wife and not a web designer, but that didn’t stop this mother of two boys from starting a side business and e-commerce site on their farm in the remote southwestern part of Ireland. She had her light bulb moment for the business while trying to save money for her own farm. She switched to LED lights, cut her electric bill by 70% then decided to source and sell those same “fantastically bright” lights directly to other farmers across Ireland. It’s a way for them to help fellow farmers, but also supplement the often unstable income of dairy farming.
