Happy 2nd Anniversary to us! Two years ago today we launched our website. We had an amazing first year and now we can safely say year two was even better! The traffic at our website keeps on increasing in leaps and bounds. In 2017 we had over 21,500 unique visitors that generated an incredible 65,000 page views. One of the highlights of this year was our nomination for the prestigious Ontario Rural Leadership Award based on our education about agriculture on social media.
I wrote 63 “Tater Tales” blogs for the Common-Tater in 2017 that covered a wide variety of topics ranging from farming equipment, how we grow potatoes, new recipes, animal visitors and life on the farm. The slide show above features the top ten blogs that got the biggest reaction from our audience. You can view them in their entirety by visiting the “Best Of 2017” category in The Common-Tater (as well as the “Best Of 2016” in case you missed our top ten blogs from year one.)
In celebration of our anniversary we are thrilled to release our brand new “About Cooking Potatoes” page today. There are four new signature recipes that will be sure to delight you and your taste buds: Potato & Roasted Apple Soup; Bangers & Mash (created with everyone’s favourite Chef Derek); Potato Crust Breakfast Quiche and Sweet Heat. And don’t fret if you missed your chance to print or download the four previously featured recipes. They have been safely retired to the recipe category of The Common-Tater where you can view them anytime you like.
And what’s ahead for 2018? We remain committed to growing a quality potato that is delivered on time to our ever growing base of customers. Our sweet corn seed has arrived and we look forward to seeing all of you at the farm this summer. John and Curtis are branching out with a few new crops that we will be adding to the produce available at the farm door. You can look for two brand new photo gallery updates coming later this summer. We are investigating Pinterest as an addition to our social media. I will be retiring my “Tater Tales” blogs but have many ideas to keep you updated about life at this potato farm. So as you can see we are gearing up for a fantastic third year that we cannot wait to share with you! Thank you for two incredible years!
