Did you get to our event on Feb 11th 2012? Obviously if you didn't, sorry you missed it. We had 121 varieties of potato to choose from ... a record for us. Some of these we had not been able to get for some years, a few we missed, and few more exciting for their newness. All the usual stalls were attracted plenty of business.

The venue was the same place, Stonham Barns, Stonham Aspal. It has new owners and they did us proud. A good concrete floor, extra area indoors and on-going improvement to the parking facilities. Even the best facilities could not cope with the weather however and having chosen the coldest night of the winter (at least -10 Celsius) we had to run a marquee heater all night to keep the frost off your tubers. We know the cold kept a lot of you away but we went on to have a good cold day. There were tubers left for sale but we were pleased how well everything went in those temperatures.

Our thanks go to our suppliers, the Stonham Barns management, Thompson and Morgan for keeping us supplied with all the Sarpo blight-resisting varieties (+ their OCA tubers which sold out!), and above all you the customers without whom there would be no potato day.

Let's look forward to a good growing season.

The East Anglia Potato Day is an annual event

We try to make available up to
100 varieties of seed potatoes,
which are sold as individual
tubers, so that you can buy as
many or as few as you require.

We also aim to offer as many
organic varieties as possible,
usually about 25%.
