Hello Potato Growers
Please find attached the order form for Borgue Potato Day 2027 – Saturday 6th February 11 – 2pm. The form is attached as a pdf and also as an excel spreadsheet. If you find it difficult to order via either of these, please let us know.
It was another very difficult year for the growers due to the weather, and they have only just let us know which varieties will be available. So we are very sorry for the late arrival of the order form.
Many varieties are only available in limited quantities, so we need to get our order to them as soon as possible. The good news is that Pink Fir Apple is back on the list!
This year the ‘standard’ potatoes on the list come in 10 tuber bag for £3, or as 2kg bags at a cost of £6.50 each, which will contain anything between 16 and 32 tubers of varying sizes. If 2kg seems like too many, let us know (by email) and we may be able to arrange splitting the bag with someone else.
The Organic / Heritage varieties are available as 6 tuber bags for £3.50 or in 1kg bags at a cost of £4.
We have indicated where varieties are RHS recommended; Heritage; or Organic.
The Sarpo varieties and one or two others (*) are blight resistant.
We’d like to have a good assortment of extra potatoes available on the day (hopefully as loose tubers) so please let us know which you’re interested in and again we’ll do our best to ensure everyone gets what they want and plenty of opportunities for trying out small quantities of new varieties!!
We will also have a seed swap table, and other local food producers. The 1st Stewartry Rangers will once again be helping with the refreshments, so please stay for delicious home-made cake, and soup and take the time chat with fellow growers.
Thanks for your interest and we look forward to seeing you on the day!
We will email you with confirmation of your order as soon as we can, but please return your order form by Friday 20th November, at the latest. Please email your orders to: thecheeseloft@gmail.com
Please remember that we can only accept cash on the day.
Best wishes
Anne & Rachel
