Desiree is a red skinned, yellow fleshed potato. These are a good choice for tasty, creamy mashed potato. They also cook well as chips or for roasting.

Ambo potatoes are considered to be the modern equivalent of the old King Edward potatoes. The skins vary in colour, mainly light beige with pinky red patches. The flesh is firm and waxy yet floury with a lovely earthy taste. Great for boiling and roasting, and also baking as they hold their shape well.

Maris Piper potatoes are the most widely grown potatoes here in the UK since 1980. These potatoes have a lovely fluffy texture are a great all rounder suitable for many cooking methods including making chips, roast potatoes and mash.

Washed White potatoes have a smooth creamy coloured skin and white flesh. They have a very even texture, excellent any way you cook them, and the larger ones make great jacket potatoes.

Cyprus potatoes are grown in the mineral soils of the island of Cyprus making them highly nutritious. They are wholesome and tasty potatoes and have a deep yellow, firm and dense flesh with a lovely buttery, earthy and rich flavour.

Suited for all cooking methods.

Baby potatoes, these small washed white potatoes are great boiled and cooled for salads or can be roasted with their skins on.

Feeding The Birds

Feeding the wild birds through the winter is an important task because this is when birds need to increase energy and body heat to survive through the colder months.

Remember to also provide fresh drinking water and make sure bird feeders are out of reach of cats.

Mixed Seeds

Keep the birds healthy through autumn and winter with our wild bird seed mix. This mix contains wheat, red dari, kibbled maize, white millet, cooked wheat flakes, cut wheat and black sunflower seeds.

Sunflower Hearts

Sunflower hearts are also an excellent autumn and winter bird food as they are packed with energy also the husks are already removed so they leave very little mess.

Peanuts

Always put peanuts in a bird feeder as some birds may choke on a whole nut. Peanuts are a great energy boost and are liked by a variety of birds including woodpeckers starlings and sparrows.

Fat Balls

We have suet fat balls in two sizes and are they are perfect for year round feeding. Fat balls are made with beef suet, millet seed, linseed, peanut flour and powdered insects to form a very nutritious bird food high in fat and protein.

Coco Feeders

Coco feeders are suitable for year round use. These contain beef suet and either mealworms or berries. This is another very nutritious bird food.

Insect Suet Pellets 

This premium beef suet wild bird food is suitable for all types of birds and  can be offered in a bird feeder, on a bird table or suitable mesh feeder. Suitable all year round especially in winter when food is scarce and springtime and early summer when adult birds are looking for food for their young.

Berry Suet Pellets

Berry flavour beef suet pellets are very attractive to wild birds and are suitable for year round feeding. Use in a suet bird feeder, bird table or on the ground away from predators.
