Carnany Farm is a five minute drive from Ballymoney town centre and is a mixed use farm. The farm is run by local man, Robert Skelton, his brother Thomas, and son Philip, who together farm 550 acres of land in the area.

The Morrison family have been farming at The Hills, Deffrick for over 70 years and Lyle and Lynda are the third generation of the family to do so.
