Caledonia Potatoes is a substantial breeder and producer of seed and ware potatoes based in and around Perthshire, Scotland. Caledonia is owned by some of the most prominent potato growers in Scotland with approximately 1000 hectares of potatoes under their own management.
We are active in the sale of seed and ware potatoes of both our own production and dedicated suppliers, for multiple export and UK markets. Caledonia has a strong belief in the power of business through trust and longstanding partnerships. In many ways Caledonia is itself a partnership. Our directors are, uniquely, our primary growers and between them combine years of experience which serves to make our products and service delivery among the most reliable in the industry.
Breeding Programme
Caledonia Potatoes runs a vibrant breeding programme producing new varieties to enhance our wide market range. We draw genetics from a diverse pool with significant scientific guidance from our partners at James Hutton Ltd and our in-house specialist Dr Finlay Dale BSC, PHD.
Our knowledge surrounding the challenges of growing our own potatoes is imperative during the selection process within our breeding programme, giving us a unique insight into solving the challenges that we all face as producers. We believe this experience is vital in developing increasingly environmentally advanced varieties.
