One of the best ways to enjoy their unique flavour is to simply boil the new potatoes, squash them lightly with a fork and add butter. You can also visit “BBQ Smash Potatoes” for one of my original new potato recipes. PS Yes, our corn is almost ready!

Our new potatoes are ready & waiting for you at our farm stand. These small, white potatoes are only available for a short time during the summer. We sell them unwashed at this time of year to protect their tender skins. Store them in a cool dark place and only wash them when you’re ready to cook them.

Our packing shed is bursting at the seams as we prepare for an insanely busy week next week. All our vehicles will be on the road every day delivering an incredible amount of 50lb bags of russet and Yukon potatoes to our restaurants as they get ready for Good Friday Fish & Chips. It may be hard to believe, but all these potatoes will be gone by Monday! This means we will be packing at full tilt for all of next week. You can visit “National French Fry Day” and “National Potato Day” to see some of customers where you can get your fish & chips.
Today is National Potato Day. May I suggest you visit one of our customers for a great potato experience? Our customers have you covered whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, family dining, fine dining, fish & chips, specialty burgers & fries, or a quick trip to a food truck. You can visit “National French Fry Day” to see more restaurants in the GTA who use our potatoes.
I have also included four recipes that were developed, cooked and taste tested in my kitchen. I have almost 50 original recipes posted on this website. The links for the recipes featured above can be found at “Potato Salads” “Bacon Wrapped Potato Bites” “Potato & Sweet Corn Chowder”" and “This Spud’s For You: Baked Potato Bar.” Bon Appétit! Today is National French Fry Day. Why not celebrate by visiting one of our customers who use our potatoes for fresh cut fries? This is a small sampling of some of our wonderful customers who use our potatoes for fresh cut fries and more. Whether you’re in the mood for burgers, fish, tacos, sit down dining, pub fare or stopping in at a food truck we’ve got you covered! You can visit “What We Offer” to learn more about the potatoes and produce we offer to restaurants and the general public.
What’s growing at the farm today? Plenty! All our potatoes plants are in flower which means tubers are forming (which means potatoes are growing.) Did you know that potato plants have different colours flowers depending on the variety of potato that has been planted? The plants with white flowers are our early crop AC Chaleur round white potatoes and the plants with pink flowers are our very popular Yukon Gem potatoes.
The sweet corn got off to a slow start due to very cool ground temperatures this spring, but I think you can see it’s really taking off now. Acres and acres and acres of sweetness coming soon! And last (but never least) the pumpkin seeds have germinated and the plants getting bigger every day. They take some time to get established, but soon they will be enormous plants sprawled all over the field. So all in all, our crops are growing nicely. You can visit “The Flowers Of Our Farm” to see more pictures of our crops in flower during the summer months. |
