Potatoes.. our tasty tatters direct to you from our farm shop

At Country Market we select the best varieties of potatoes for growing on our family farm.  We grow, grade and pack our potatoes on the farm too for zero food miles.  All are available exclusively for our customers in our farm shop at Country Market and sold in handy size 12.5kg sacks.  Packing in paper sacks also benefits longer term storage.

Healthy & wholesome

The humble spud has many health benefits. For example, potatoes provide the body with an essential source of fuel and energy which you need even when dieting. This versatile and tasty vegetable is packed with vitamin B as well as potassium, magnesium and iron. It is said that this naturally tasty food also reduces blood pressure, helps protect against cardiovascular disease and with high levels of fibre is great for maintaining regular bowel movements.

Did you know? If you accidentally burn yourself gently press a piece of raw potato against the injury and it will take out the sting and help speed up the healing process.

Advice from our farm shop

We recommend storing potatoes in a cool dark place.  Potatoes should be dry before storing them and not stored in plastic bags.
