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.

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.
Did you know that we offer farm pickup for restaurants and food trucks? Of course, most of the time most of our customers don’t bring the entire food truck to the farm! Darren is handing 50lb bags of russet potatoes straight through the service window to Derek. Then off Derek goes to make more amazing poutines. Another satisfied customer here at the farm! You can visit “National French Fry Day” to have a peek at a few of our amazing customers who serve fresh cut fries and poutine in the Greater Toronto Area.
What better way to beat the winter blues here at the farm than to test cook our potatoes?! One snowy, stormy winter weekend RJ dug out the deep fryer and whipped up some fries. The fries featured in the photo were made from Yukon Gold potatoes, yellow flesh potatoes and two different kinds of russet potatoes. I am often asked what potato makes the best french fry, so let’s find out what our expert panel of taste testers decided. It was completely unanimous. The best fries are completely up to the individual who eats them, which leads to the undeniable conclusion that every potato makes an excellent french fry! We wash, pack and deliver our potatoes year round in the Greater Toronto Area to restaurants, food trucks, grocery stores and wholesale companies. If you’re looking for a new supplier, why not contact us? You can visit “Tractor Joy Riding” to see a video of John planting our potatoes as I tagged along for a ride.
