 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.”

Today is International Potato Day! Here are some fun facts you may not know about one of the world’s most beloved vegetables. You can learn more even about the humble potato by visiting our interactive slideshow at “Spud Smarts – About Potatoes.”
I named these novelty potatoes “Papas Moradas” which means “purple potatoes” in Spanish. The splash of purple is a fun addition to your dinner plate. They are very flavourful, and there is no need to peel them. And what can you cook with Papas Moradas? It turns out that they are very versatile so you can cook pretty much anything you want! The video shows roasted potatoes cooked by my sister-in-law Angie and loaded fries created by Cook Rob at The Belvedere Cookhouse. I stuck with making a simple baked potato and a potato salad chock full of fresh herbs.
Papas Moradas will be available at our farm stand for a limited time this fall. You can visit “At The Door” to see all the fall produce we have available, including our homegrown pumpkins.  I invite you to eat the rainbow this weekend! Our farm stand is stocked with field tomatoes, cooking onions, red onions and cabbage from local farmers. Our homegrown sweet corn is at the height of its season and is picked fresh every day. We have new white potatoes, new yellow potatoes and are excited to introduce “Papas Moradas” which means purple potatoes in Spanish. These fingerling potatoes are deep purple both outside and inside and are only available for a short time. They will be sure to be a conversation piece at your dinner table, and they taste great too! Hope to see you soon! Please try to bring your own bags. You can visit “Contact Us” for our hours of operation and directions to our farm.
Our new white potatoes are finally available at our farm stand! The drought this summer has delayed their appearance but rest assured, they are as delicious as usual. Store these unwashed potatoes in a cool dark place, and only wash them when you’re ready to cook them. The best way to enjoy their unique, subtle flavour is to simply boil the new potatoes, squash them lightly with a fork and add butter. Don’t forget to grab some of our homegrown sweet corn when you’re at the farm! You can visit “It’s New Potato Season” to see a video of new potatoes being cooked in my kitchen or head to “BBQ Smash Potatoes” for a simple, yummy recipe for your new potatoes.
