Good morning and happy Thursday! We dusted off our harvesting equipment and got to work digging our new crop potatoes early this beautiful summer morning. These early, round white potatoes are always a huge hit with our customers at both our farm stand and our restaurants. Come and get them while you can! You can visit “#harvest25” to watch a video of our harvest equipment.
 
New white potatoes are now available at our farm stand and I have a brand new potato salad recipe to celebrate their arrival. I stepped outside of Grandma Morton’s famous potato salad recipe boundaries for this one, but the end result I came up with would have earned her stamp of approval!
Small potatoes are boiled whole, cut into quarters and splashed with sweet gherkin pickle juice. Then you add some radishes for zip, some celery for crunch and some gherkin pickles for sweetness. The simple mayonnaise, yellow mustard and honey dressing adds some tang. The flavours blend beautifully, and I promise you’ll be impressed with both the ease of making this potato salad and the oh so tasty end result. Click on the PDF document above to print or download the recipe file. You can visit “Creamy Herbed New Potato Salad” for another quick & delicious potato salad recipe. Bon Appétit! Looking for a kernel of yellow brightness on this gloomy, rainy Sunday morning? We’ve got you covered with our homegrown, farm fresh sweet corn! Our bicolour sweet corn is picked fresh daily and is now available at our farm stand. You can visit ‘At The Door” for pricing, our hours of operation and directions to the farm.
 There is something almost magical about new crop potatoes. They have a delicate skin, a delicious flavour, and they are ready & waiting for you at our farm stand right now. These potatoes are only available for a short time in the summer so don’t miss out! P.S. We also have beautiful corn from Norfolk Country while we wait for our crop to ripen a bit more. If you’re looking for inspiration for cooking your new potatoes you can visit “Creamy Herbed New Potato Salad” or “BBQ Smash Potatoes.”
I captured this mama deer and her fawn when I was on a photo shoot in the back 40. I was taking photos of one of our potato fields that were showing an incredible display of flowers when the deer wandered through the field. You can visit the Animal Category of my Common-Tater blog to see many more videos and photos of the wildlife at our farm.
