GOLDEN WONDERS We missed growing these delicious potatoes for 2 years so we planted some this spring and here they are . Tried them this evening and there so dry and floury . We're selling from our farm 16 Killycowan rd Glarryford Bt449HL call in if u would like a bag .

Lovely day for digging queens. Got 15 tonne dug . Since that evenings are getting shorter and nights longer a feed of queens would be a welcomed sight after a days work . So call into our farm and try some of our potatoes. Thanks to all our old and new customers that makes these long days work worth it .

It's wonderful as a farmer to work so close to nature but when nature throws a surprise it's farmers that are worse affected. Apart from no power on the farm as 3 days and multiple trees and fences down Storm Ali blew our potato harvester over that was parked in the feild after digging on Monday night. Thankfully it wasn't to badly damaged a few dents and scrapes .But they will just b another reminder of the year 2018.
