Embrace FARM is a farming organisation which was founded by Brian and Norma Rohan, a farming family from Shanahoe, County Laois in 2014. Brian and his wife Norma with extended family lost his father Liam Rohan to a sudden farm accident in 2013.
Liam Rohan, in his full and healthy life, was a popular and respected farmer & represented Ireland many times at World Ploughing Championships. Liam suffered a severe blow to his head while carrying out repair work on machinery and sadly died many days later.
Like most farming families the Rohan’s experienced great and invaluable support from neighbours and friends but were surprised to find that there was little or no emotional or practical support networks available to farm families suffering such loss.
