The Producers: Louisa Dunn (Potato Farmer - Blackwood, Victoria) - Spud Fest.

from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent · host A Deep in the Weeds Production

Louisa Dunn farms potatoes, beef and sheep in Blackwood, an hour north of Melbourne. A city girl from Brighton, who married into a fifth generation farming family, Louisa has learnt more about potatoes than she knew there was to know. There are more than 4000 types of potatoes and the Dunn family is proud to grow around 20 of them, both for chipping and sending to market. Louisa has become a keen advocate for regional farming communities such as hers; she’s a huge wrap for the Great Trentham Spudfest (May 2 & 3), which celebrates local potato farming families every autumn.
