Mawbray family live off the land and maintain a small business

A FAMILY is living and trading off the land at their farm in Mawbray. Mawbray Potatoes sells fresh produce to residents of Maryport, Workington and Silloth, the Armstrong family are keeping an 80 year-old tradition alive with the business. Couple Rodney and Annabelle Armstrong and their son Michael are operating a self-sustaining business from their farm in Mawbray. Under normal circumstances they would sell fresh produce from the farm at the markets in Workington and Silloth. But during the Covid-19 pandemic, they are offering contactless deliveries to families in the surrounding areas. Annabelle said: “It’s not the same as standing on the markets but it’s doing quite well for us.”

SO, how many different types of potato do you reckon are grown around this world of ours? And just what proportion of them can you buy in the shops? The answer to the former is more than 500. And to the latter? About 15. That is one of the powerful arguments for growing your own. The others, of course, are taste and efficacy knowing that those fresh potatoes came from your own hand, grown in your own, good, earth. I can’t believe that nearly a year has spun by since I wrote my last piece extolling the virtues of growing your own spuds, just a couple of months before we were trapped by Lockdown 1 in Nepal. With increasing age, time spins ever faster but certain imperatives will remain until I am too old to raise a spade.
