HOME ON THE RANGE: Johnny Lynch, of Macroom Buffalo Mozzarella, with ‘Black Beauty’, who starred with him in the Aldi TV adMy home, where the buffalo roamIT’S been a hard autumn, winter and spring for farmers everywhere in Ireland — and there are precious few signs of it relenting any time soon. One man who is determined that his herds will continue to get the best of care and feeding is Johnny Lynch, who runs Macroom Buffalo Farm. Everyone must be familiar now with that delightful TV ad where Johnny sits confidently astride a splendid buffalo and trades ‘Ciao’ greetings with nuns buzzing by on mopeds. But the supermarket chain were more than willing to do it to get the Lynch mozzarella cheese into their Irish stores, he says. “I’d feed them before I’d feed myself, and that’s the truth.”Macroom Buffalo Farm, Kilnamartyra, Macroom, Co.
