On Tuesday we were lucky enough to visit a family run business to see first hand how they grow the potatoes and the process of harvesting and processing them in their factory, before being sold to customers. This was a trip we won by growing the most potatoes in the summer term and completing a fantastic potato display. James and Sonia were great tour guides and took us around all the sheds, the factory and lastly we got to visit the potato fields.
