History of Potato House

Potato House is the baby potato of Skea Organics, and grew out of a need to service smaller orders for gardeners, allotment growers, market gardeners and independent gardening and hardware stores. We also supply ware (eating or table) potatoes to shops, box schemes and restaurants. The Potato House website is dedicated to the gardeners and small passionate growers who are looking for high-quality seed potatoes with unique taste and specific characteristics. Around a third of our varieties are organic, although by volume, our organic range is about 80% of our harvest. Our website clearly shows what is organic and what is not, as does our labelling and invoicing 

Skea Organics

It is over twenty years now since Andrew Skea started Skea Organics and registered as an organic seed potato grower and supplier. Skea Organics is now a highly recognised name in the potato industry, supplying to many larger organisations and seed sellers. Skea Organics is the lead supplier of organic seed potatoes to farmers and market gardeners throughout UK. This also included Europe and further afield. However, due to Brexit we are unable to supply to EU and NI

One of the largest range of Seed Potatoes in the UK

It takes a lot of planning and paperwork to grow so many varieties from keeping them separate at planting, drawing field maps and harvesting through to storage and packaging. We think the end result is worth it though.

Andrew’s brother John, who farms at the farm the family have been at since 1970 at Auchterhouse, grows most of our produce but we also have a few other farmers who grow for us. In addition to seed potatoes, the family farm produces organic cattle, sheep, cereals and vegetables. The vast majority of seed potatoes sold by Potato House is our own production. We are able to offer good value because we grow, pack and dispatch directly from the farm
