Our webshop is now closed until our 2025 early new potatoes are harvested around the end of June. Huge BIG ThankYou to everyone who bought from us on-line, it genuinely amazes me every year the lengths & cost you go to, to support our on line sales it is so very much appreciated.

A lovely visit last week to the farm from Ben Dineen, Exec Head Chef at ##TheLeinsterHotel Dublin. Myself and David are over the moon to know he is a big fan of our potatoes and features them on dishes throughout the hotel. Was lovely to meet you Ben and Thanks again for coming to see us.
