Minitubers

Salad Blue

We have a huge selection of minitubers online this year and again they are the same as the NVS varieties you can grow your own seed potatoes from these high grade tubers for 9 generations. We have some really great varieties such as Blue Kestrel, Arran Comrade, Heather, Purple Eyed Seedling, Bishop and we have a selection of varieties that we have grown from minitubers such as the amazing Salad Blue which has blue flesh and Highland Burgundy Red which has red flesh. Give them a try and you will be as amazed as I was when you harvest them.


Highland Burgundy Red

The rest of the online shop is fully stocked and we have one of the largest and most unique ranges available.
Many of our varieties are now proving so popular that many other retailers are now selling our range and we are glad to be supplying Alan Romans who works very hard to promote unusual and rare potatoes with our conservation varieties.

Exhibition potatoes

Now onto the potatoes. We have a limited number of exclusive potato varieties this year to mark the 50th Anniversary of the National Vegetable Society. We call these varieties NVS Amour and NVS Sherine and they are the most sought after varieties by exhibition growers. The stock we have is the highest grade possible and comes in the form of minitubers. To give you an idea of size most of these exclusive tubers are about the same size as a golf ball and will enable you to grow your own seed potatoes from them for at least 9 generations provided they are kept disease free. We use these minitubers ourselves to produce seed potatoes so you can by with total confidence.


NVS Amour

If you join the National Vegetable Society you can enter a competition we are running next year where there is a prize fund of £375 for the person who produces the best plate of 5 NVS Amour or NVS Sherine.
Joining the NVS also gives you exclusive access to the members area forum where you can learn all sorts of top tips from expert growers and ask any questions you have about growing top quality vegetables.
