The Common-Tater
Here in Southern Ontario we just went through one of the worst winter storms we have had all winter…in the middle of April! If this disappointing weather has got you down, I have the perfect solution for you. Comfort food! This Cottage Pie was developed with Chef Derek from Fraberts Fresh Food and has a few special twists that will be sure to bring some warmth into your kitchen. Ground beef is blended with homemade gravy and covered with a layer of corn. The finishing layer of mashed potatoes mixed with horseradish adds an unexpected zip to the cottage pie. Click on the PDF file above to download or print the recipe. You may also be interested in my “Shepherd’s Pie” recipe which is a meat pie that uses roast beef and mixed vegetables. Bon Appétit!

Russet potatoes anyone? We’ve got you covered whether you’re a consumer looking for a fresh product for your home, a chip truck looking for a potato supplier for the upcoming summer season or a restaurant looking for a year round quality potato. John and Shelby are standing in front of one pile of our popular Russet potatoes in one of our storages. Russet potatoes are extremely versatile. Their shape is ideal for chipping into french fries, the flesh is outstanding as a baked potato, and as you can see from the slideshow, they can be used in many other recipes to create delicious food. All of the dishes featured in this slideshow were created in my kitchen. The recipes can be found on this website in “Spud Smarts – About Cooking Potatoes” and in the recipe category of The Common-Tater. You can watch a video of our potatoes travelling into the storage for the winter by visiting “The Potato Bin Filler.”
What are your signs that spring has sprung? For many people, signs of spring can be the first sighting of robins, longer days, and small snowdrop and crocus pushing up in the garden. Here at the farm the first sure sign that spring has arrived is when we begin to receive our seed potato shipments. This truck is full of Yukon Gem seed potatoes that we unload and store until it’s time to start planting. How many boxes are there? How long does it take to unload the truck? Where do we store them? This shipment held approximately 40 boxes of seed potatoes that took two forklift operators about 3 hours to unload. The boxes are kept in one of our large sheds where the temperature, humidity and lighting levels are optimized for seed potato storage. You can visit “Millions of Seed Potatoes” to learn more about seed potatoes.
