The Chef’s farm – new Superfoods
The idea to produce sweet potato like many good ideas came from a question and a challenge: “Is it possible to grow sweet potato in Ireland and Northern Europe?” The general consensus was “No”, but the question deserved a proper answer. This thought combined with general awareness of the importance of healty food crops all had impact on the thoughts leading into the sweet potato project. From there on it was only a small step to add other food crops into this range and we will continue to look out for more.
