Darragh McCullough: Cappuccinos won't make you rich, but coloured weanlings might
"People say coffee is a goldmine, but is it really? I put it to the test"
"People often ask how I manage it all. The farming, the Ear to the Ground television work and now the cafe, farm shop and garden centre."
"They say it like I've cracked the code to time itself, like I spend my mornings ploughing and my afternoons powdering cappuccinos while filming a segment about soil management."
Coffee's reputation as a highly profitable crop is questioned. The narrator balances farming, television work on Ear to the Ground, and running a cafe, farm shop and garden centre. Observers frequently ask how all these responsibilities are managed. Public perception imagines a seamless swing between ploughing fields, steaming milk and filming segments about soil. That imagined ease suggests a mastery of time that oversimplifies daily realities. The combination of agricultural labor, retail management and broadcast commitments creates a demanding, multifaceted workload that challenges the notion of coffee as an effortless goldmine.
