A very interesting workshop is to take place in Dundalk Library next Tuesday 20 August at 11am that will interest all growers in the north Louth area.

Creative Ireland Louth has organised a potato growing workshop, taking place in the library from 11am -12pm, hosted by Maria Flynn from Ballymakenny Farm in Drogheda, a farm renowned for its heritage & speciality potato varities.

Join Maria to learn all about the intricacies of growing potatoes in today's predominantly monoculture-driven farming landscape. Discover Ballymakenny Farm's innovative responses to the challenges faced by the potato farming sector and gain a fresh perspective on the question: Is bigger always better?
