Why We Hold Kirriemuir Tattie Day
Team SK are passionate about all aspects of local food, whether locally grown, processed locally, or sold through local shops and markets. We want to build a more accessible and resilient food system where communities can come together to grow and eat more local food and celebrate the seasons. Therefore, we hope Kirriemuir Tattie Day will inspire and enable local people to grow their own produce, and access local produce more easily.
What to Expect
Potato House
The star of the show at Kirriemuir Tattie Day is always the dozens of varieties of seed potato pick ‘n’ mix available to buy directly from Andrew and Amy Skea of Potato House themselves. They’ll be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions you have, and to advise on the perfect tatties for your taste and growing space.
