"In just 3 years, we have grown to be one of Ireland's leading retailer of Agri products"
I established Country Farm Supplies in August of 2020. Although the journey to it began way back in 1992. My passion for farming came from my grandfather, who owned a thriving farm and contracting business in East Cork, James (Jimmy) Northridge. Growing up, I spent every opportunity at the farm, learning off my grandfather. I learned to drive a tractor at the age of 11. A Ford 7610 2 WD. Every day after school, I would go to the farm before going home. Without this or my Grandfather, CFS would not be here. My business mind came from my father. Through the years, he has helped to support and prepare me for the highs and lows of running a business (there are many). He is always there for advice along the way. My Wife Aoife and 3 kids, Ronan, Caelan and Conall support me through everything. My passion for farming is what drove me to setting up Country Farm Supplies but my family keep me driven to grow it further. My kids are eager to get in involved wherever they can. Often helping to pack orders in the warehouse. They too are tractor mad! Aoife remains supportive and listens through all of my crazy business ideas. After getting the kids to sleep in the evenings, my mum Deirdre would come out to the warehouse and help me with packing orders/organizing the warehouse. Her support has been undeniable since the very beginning. Country Farm Supplies started off selling Clothing and Footwear (in the spare room of my house). In just 3 years, we have grown to be one of Ireland's leading retailer of Agri products.
