Listen Back: "Social Farming scheme in Cavan saved my life"

John Murphy is an abuse survivor who credits a County Cavan farm and its family for saving his life.

Before his support team recommended he join the Social Farming scheme 12years ago, John was withdrawn, mistrusting of everyone and struggling to cope with life.

Now, he gives talks on social farming to crowded rooms, he travels the length and breadth of the country attending vintage shows and has a close circle of friends. He is also employed on Richard and Jackie Moeran's Alpha Organics Farm in Mountnugent. Here John tells Zoe Tunney about his journey and how he looks forward to living life to the full.
