 Happy Monday everyone! Our fields are snow covered, the wind is blustery and the temperatures are cold. It seems to be a classic Canadian winter so far this January. But never fear! Our potatoes are safe in the storage and being graded and delivered weekly. So wherever you are – drive safe, stay warm and eat potatoes! You can visit “And We Have Snow!” to see how we deal with large snowfalls at the farm.

As the polar vortex settles in over Southern Ontario and plunges us into a deep freeze, I’m happy to share a new recipe for some comfort food that will hopefully warm you up a little bit. I’m honestly not sure what took me so long to publish a crock pot recipe since I am a huge fan of preparing food in a crock pot. This is a super easy side dish to prepare and is packed with tons of flavour. Diced yellow potatoes are coated with olive oil, garlic and a variety of spices. Toss them in the crock pot and cook for 3 hours. Set out on a serving platter, garnish the spuds with fresh parsley and rosemary leaves and enjoy.

I’m asked this question rather often, so I prepared this collage of the 4 of us working hard at playing. RJ is developing his engineering career; Curtis pursues a new interest in watercolour painting, and I am busy perfecting the fine art of cuddling. And as for John, he seems to be the only one of us with real energy as he attends truck school to attain his AZ license. Of course, while we definitely enjoy a quieter time at the farm, we are still busy packing and delivering our potatoes to our customers and unbelievably already ramping up for the 2025 growing season. You can visit “The Faces Of Our Farm 2024” to see a video of all of us hard at work during the fall harvest.
