Potato competitions are a beloved staple of agriculture fairs and community festivals worldwide, celebrating both horticultural skills and light-hearted rivalry.
In these lively events, enthusiastic allotmenteers like to demonstrate their cultivation skills by producing the heaviest crop grown in a sack.
Ultimately, our competition is less about intense rivalry and more about honouring agricultural heritage, sharing cultivation secrets and bringing communities together for a fun and enjoyable day
Winners of the 2026 Heaviest Crop Competition are:
1st Judith Potts – 4.65kg
2nd Mike Hewlett – 4.0kg
3rd Ian Ricketts – 2.50kg
