We are halfway through November! Crazy I know!  We washed, graded, packaged, and shipped out about 40,000lbs of potatoes this week, mostly into NYC.  That was a good, busy week for us, and we need to see more weeks like this before farmer Jackie has her baby and my wife has hers! &nb1 read more »

Welp it's October!  At least the temps and humidity lowered to make it feel like fall.  We love this time of the year, (big flannel people over here), but their is something special about the cool crisp air on a fall morning and the warmth of the sun in the afternoon.  Yes, fall does1 read more »
