Belle De Fontenay Seed Potatoes

Buying by weight is the professional merchant standard and ensures you receive the maximum amount of biological energy for your money. While some retailers use high tuber counts to make a bag look full, those tubers are often inconsistent in quality or undersized.

By focusing on weight, we guarantee a reliable volume of high-health stock. This usually results in more individual planting points per kilogram than a count-based bag, giving you a far better return on your investment and a more successful harvest.

Scotland is globally recognised as a High Health region for potato production. The unique climate and rigorous government standards ensure that the seed is free from diseases and viruses common in other regions. By choosing Scottish seed, you are using the same high-performance stock as commercial farmers. This ensures your garden gets the best possible start for a heavy and healthy crop, whether you are an expert or a first-time grower.

Our seed potatoes are sized between 35mm and 60mm depending on the variety. This is known as Single Drop sizing and is the preferred choice for professional growers. These tubers have an intact skin that acts as a natural shield against soil-borne rot.

If you are a beginner or have limited space, these high-vigour seeds are the perfect match for our potato planter bags. Using these bags allows you to control the growing environment perfectly, ensuring a huge harvest even on a patio or balcony.

You can expect a fantastic return on your investment. For Second Early varieties, a single high-quality Scottish seed potato will typically produce between 5 and 10 potatoes at harvest. To maximise your yield and provide your plants with the premium nutrients they need to thrive, we recommend using our potato planting compost. Formulated with added John Innes for superior structure and a six-month feed, it provides the perfect growing environment to help you achieve a record-breaking crop with ease.

We use a rigorous double inspection process that goes far beyond the basic requirements. Every batch is certified by SASA (Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture) and must pass a thorough series of checks before it even reaches us. We then perform over 50 additional in-house quality checks on our farm throughout the picking and packing stages.

This labour-intensive standard ensures that only the most healthy and viable tubers are selected for your order. You can plant with total confidence knowing your garden is backed by professional standards and over a century of expertise.
