点评:We visited Glen Keen Farm in Mayo, Ireland with an acreage of 1600, located in an EU Special Area of Conservation (SAC) run by Jim, his wife Catherine - the award winning 2020 Irish Country Women with their loyal family to learn about the Agritourism.
This is an eye opener on Agri or Eco Tourism, the difficulties to run a farm, laws and regulations with economic hardships.
Mr An Neantog showed us the way to harvest Peat (layers of peat with soil - Peatlands) for firewood and his loyal sheep dog Jane how skillfully control his herd of sheep.
We enjoyed the home-made lunch and freshly baked scones with cream followed by traditional Irish coffee with whiskey and cream and continuously entertained by traditional Irish country music played by Jim and Catherine's family.

这让我们对农业或生态旅游、经营农场的艰辛、法律法规以及经济困难大开眼界。
安·内安托格先生 (An Neantog) 向我们展示了如何收获泥炭(带土壤的泥炭层 - 泥炭地)作为柴火,并向我们展示了他忠诚的牧羊犬简 (Jane) 如何巧妙地控制他的羊群。
我们享用了自制午餐和新鲜出炉的奶油司康饼,然后享用了传统的爱尔兰咖啡、威士忌和奶油,吉姆和凯瑟琳的家人不时演奏传统的爱尔兰乡村音乐。
