Noel Clifford Snr started specialising in growing potatoes on his family farm in the year 2000. The rich and fertile soil of North Kerry resulted in great tasting potatoes and as a result Ardfert Potatoes are now recognized as a food of top quality. Noels’ sons Noel and Adrian now run the farm together and are as passionate about producing superb potatoes as their father was before them . They have worked hard in the decades since to sustain the level of quality associated with their produce. They have been certified with Bord bia for the last 10 years, and while this takes a lot of hard work and commitment, it is worth it, as it guarantees top quality which is always the priority for their customers. The Clifford brothers’ mission is to get the produce from farm to shop floor within hours – always ensuring the freshest product. They supply a local product to local businesses and supermarkets throughout Kerry and Munster. While potatoes are their main crop, they also grow a wide variety of vegetables , all chosen because of their ability to grow well in the soil of North Kerry. These include cabbage , broccoli, carrots, turnips and sprouts – traditional irish vegetables which are all naturally healthy and delicious. So the next time you are trying to decide what to have for dinner why not consider including some Ardfert Potatoes produce, it’s no wonder Irish people love potatoes so much when they are blessed with the quality and freshness such as that produced by the Cliffords in Ardfert.
