Gerard Convery lives on the family farm near Magherafelt in County Derry-Londonderry. He used to grow regular potatoes to sell to local shops but he is now planting more unusual varieties. They include Pink Fir Apple, Violetta, Red Emmaile, Yukon Gold, Shetland Black and Fingerling.

He has also diversified into rare breed vegetables such as Purple Haze and Yellowstone Carrots, Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Golden, Detroit and Candy Stripe Beetroot.

He supplies local restaurants like Ardtara Country House and Church Street in Magherafelt. He would be delighted to talk to any chefs about his produce.
