Potatoes and more potatoes

This has been a great potato year for us! Last year we ran short on potatoes before the end of our winter CSA, and so this year we planted quite a lot more. In addition, a few varieties we tried for the first time this year did particularly well, doubling or nearly tripling the yield per acre that we had expected. In fact, they did so well that we're facing the challenge of where to put them all! The potato cooler is already stacked nearly to the gills with about 6,500 pounds of potatoes, and more still in the field. We've been exploring some wholesale options and, at least, we are in no danger of running out.

If you're interested in stocking up on potatoes for the winter, let us know!
