Een verhaal over de lekkerste oer-Hollandse aardappel.

Deep in the heart of rural Holland farmers Pieter and Adriaan Veerman are working year round to produce the best tasting and most reliable potato in the country. They are combining generations of family farming knowledge with modern day science to maximise productivity. Their core product is “Verse Boerderij Friet“. Fresh potato fries that are grown, peeled, cut and packaged right on their own farm in Goudswaard. Over the course of one year I have documented this proces from beginning to end, from seeding to shipment.

Cafetaria de Toren is probably the most famous snackbar in Breda and known for their delicious crispy potato fries. They are getting their fries exclusively from Verse Boerderij Friet in order to guarantee the best quality every day of the year. In the potato business this is not easy to achieve, since harvest is only one time a year. For this film I wanted to tell the story of how the potato transitions from a raw rural product to a tasty snack that almost everyone enjoys.
