Ballymakenny potatoes are probably the best spuds in Ireland. They're grown with passion and love. They're a shining a light for the smaller farmers of Ireland. We use them in Aniar and Tartare with great joy, to bring people a true taste of Irish food."

The passion shown by Maria and David in growing their fantastic potatoes is evident when you get delivery of these amazing Irish-grown purple potato. The feedback has been really positive among the chefs who use them in the various workplace kitchens around Dublin and we are happy to continue to support them."

In Peploes kitchen we wait for months till the start of the Ballymakenny potato season, they go straight on the menu on day one! The best potatoes in the country in my opinion, great flavour and they remind me of how food used to taste so good when my grandmother cooked for me."

Graeme Dodrill, Head Chef Peploes Bistro Dublin

I have had the great pleasure of working with Maria and showcasing her wonderful produce on our menus for a long time now! I try to use everything that comes from Ballymakenny Farm be it the beautiful potatoes, fantastic tender stem and purple sprouting broccoli, frivole or sweet stem cauliflower. I always seek out farmers that have a real passion and pride for what they do as this translates to what they produce and Maria is certainly one of the most passionate I know. I look forward to working with Maria for many more years and seeing what the team at Ballymakenny come up with next."
