Ballaquinney Farm has announced that will be ceasing potato production this year.
Maurice and Kevin Coole of Ballaquinney Farm say it is isn’t an ‘easy decision but with the continued rise in energy, fertiliser and seed costs, amidst a sharp slump in local sales we feel a high risk crop like potatoes is becoming too expensive to risk growing for our business’.
They will have enough produce to last this summer 2024.
It added: “We would like to thank all our customers who have supported us over the last 50 years, those who support local produce in general.”
