Canberrans can enjoy a good range of potatoes available at the district markets and Ingelara still has a good supply of the wonderful  yellow fleshed, waxy potatoes at the weekly Saturday morning Capital Region Farmers' Market at EPIC. This local biodynamic farm has proved that you can grow and harvest excellent quality potatoes over a six to seven-month period.
