Hjarnø Kartofler
Fresh, newly dug potatoes from Hjarnø are something very special. When you visit this small island in Horsens Fjord, do treat yourself to a bag of potatoes for your dinner. Hjarnø Potatoes offers you a local and authentic high-quality product.
Edible gold from the fertile soil
In the summer, not much beats fresh, new potatoes. On Hjarnø conditions for cultivating potatoes are good and the mild soil that is warmed by the sea means that potatoes can be planted earlier than on the mainland. Close to the sea, on the south-facing shores of the island, the underground tubers grow healthy and tasty in the fertile soil.
Freshly dug – cooked with sea salt and a sprig of lovage – these new potatoes have been a coveted food for generations. When you buy potatoes from Hjarnø Kartofler, you are guaranteed a good quality product, grown traditionally and using good craftmanship.
Also available on the mainland
The lucky potatoes from brdr. Jensen are taken to the mainland every day during the season – including Sunday – to local shops and cooperatives as well as to several commercial centres, both on the Juelsminde peninsula and in Horsens.
