Shed Opening - 6th February

Our trading shed re-opens on Saturday 6th February for the sale of seed potatoes and all the usual shed goodies including composts, fertilisers and advice from our experienced shed team members.  Please note we are also open on Sunday 7th February and Saturday 13th for the sale of seed potatoes (main shed not open these two extra days).  We are fully stocked with compost and manure, and prices are held from last year thanks to our bulk buying ability.

Seed potato varieties this year are:

First Earlies

Accord, Foremost, Lady Christi, Penland Javelin and Swift all in 3kg nets

Second Earlies

Estima and Kestrel, in 3kg nets

Maincrop

Desiree, King Edward, Pentland Crown, Sante and Valor, in 3kg nets, and Rooster in 2 kg nets

Salad

Charlotte, International kidney (Jersey Royal) and Nicola, in 2 kg nets.

Come early for a full choice, we usually sell out of the favourite varieties quite quickly.
