Lottery winner gives away potatoes to self-isolating families
A lottery winner has hit back at "selfish" stockpilers by distributing thousands of free potatoes from her farm to her local community.
Susan Herdman saved the potatoes - which were due to be ploughed back into the ground after the recent wet weather - and offered them free of charge to people in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire.
Ms Herdman and her family hand-picked the vegetables from the 27-acre plot and delivered them personally to self-isolating families.
The 51-year-old, who moved from Herefordshire to live on the farm after her £1.2 million win on the National Lottery in 2010, said she was inundated with messages after she offered the potatoes on Facebook.
