The following unique story comes printed as part of the product:
This piece is based on a recorded interview with Ballyhaise native Olive Brown. Olive grew up on the land of the Agricultural college and to this day still works here. Her father, mother and brother all worked here too. Her grandmother Kate Curran delivered eggs to the Humphrys family.
She recalls the strawberries, raspberries and cabbage in castle field. She grew up in the fond company of pigs, hens, cows and sheep. As a little girl she enjoyed working in the walled garden pulling carrots, potatoes, parsnips and turnips from the soil. She says that although the grand house has stayed the same, the land is forever changing.
“We lived off the land when I was a child, the wall garden stopped being used sometime in the1980’s when big supermarkets came in. The vegetables no longer grow in castle field. Families worked and lived on the grounds, that has since changed, everyone leaves at 5pm these days. The house is still being used though and it has never stopped being used. Students have been coming through this house for 110 years now.”
