Despite the Covid crisis stalling potato sales, the seasons wait for no man. The Cambridgeshire farmers responsible for hundreds of thousands of tonnes of chipping potatoes a year are already out preparing drilling and planting in order to keep fish and chip shops across the UK running into 2021.
It will be a critical year for potato farmers and chip shops alike as they both look forward to the world returning to as near normal conditions as possible.
The farmers are also keen to help the NHS charities NOW too through donating money from each bag sold from their current stocks.
Preparation at PJ Lee & Son’s Cambridgeshire for planting
As more shops are now looking to open albeit under restricted conditions it is a perfect opportunity for you to help them raise £20,000 for NHS charities.
All you need to do is to order your potatoes through Isle of Ely Produce’s field to frier approved merchants and farmers.

Oliver Boutwood IOE director said “During this crisis we have seen chip shops giving discounted meals to the NHS across the country, and we wanted to help and show the NHS that our farmers are right behind them too. Our Field to Frier network has seen us open our farms to chip shops, create a national fish and chip award, and now we have joined together to help raise funds for NHS charities.”
“This initiative is open to all fish and chips shops and their wholesalers, who can all do their bit in helping to raise up to £20,000. Our farmers have committed a donation from every bag sold for this fund. Participating shops can even display the posters in their windows.”
