Aisling Neville runs a spring-calving 150-cow dairy herd in Co Westmeath that she started at just 22 years old.
Aisling grew up on a dairy farm in Co. Offaly and says it was here where she developed her love and interest in cows and their breeding.
“I absolutely love cows, I love everything to do with them, especially breeding them. I have a big interest in family lines and I suppose I got that from my father, as he has a big interest in it too,”

Along with her boyfriend Shane, Aisling has a 10-year lease on the farm aimed at making the highest quality milk. “It all begins and ends with the quality of the milk produced on your farm. Quality milk is the cornerstone of quality dairy products.”

What makes Irish dairy different?
Our Irish origin makes the true difference. This unspoiled island, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is blessed with a host of natural resources. It’s no wonder Irish dairy has a global reputation for being amongst the best in the world. Ireland’s temperate climate and abundant rainfall create perfect conditions for grazing. This mild climate means our dairy herds are free to roam their natural environment throughout the year. Our home county in the northeast has 365 lakes which nurture the land with pure fresh water and our fields yield 40% more grass per hectare than the rest of Europe.
This means we have a constant supply of pure, fresh milk year round ready to be transformed into nutritious dairy ingredients. At Lakeland Dairies Food Ingredients, we’re always there for you no matter what and we’re committed to helping your business flourish.
