      Fresh from the field From our cold room

      Our specialty

      Twelve kinds of potatoes, and the people who grow them

      Potatoes take up twelve of our forty acres. These six are always at the stand from August; the other six come in smaller batches, so ask what’s in.

        Music and Red Russian, planted in October and pulled in July. Big cloves that peel easily and keep until spring in a cool, dark spot. Scapes in late June, while they last.

        • A green basket of strawberries in the strawberry field

          Pick-your-own strawberries

          Late June to mid-July, mornings from 8 until the rows are picked. Baskets are at the field gate.

        • A pile of just-dug carrots with soil still on them

          Frost-sweet carrots

          We leave them in the ground until the first frosts in October. The cold turns the starch to sugar.

        • Pumpkins and striped and pale squash piled together

          Squash and pie pumpkins

          Eleven kinds from September, piled by the stand. Delicata and red kuri go first.

        Our story

        Three generations on Tavish Road

        Dale’s grandparents bought the farm in 1962 and grew hay and a few acres of potatoes. Dale and Joanne took it over in 1994, planted the first heirloom potatoes the year after, and have been adding a new one every couple of years since.

        Their daughter Tess runs the Saturday market tent. If you’re not sure which potato to buy, ask her: she’ll tell you what she’s cooking this week.

        Good to know

        Questions we get at the stand

        Do you deliver or ship?

        No. Everything is sold at the stand and at the Saturday market, so it’s picked close to when you buy it.

        Are you organic?

        We’re not certified organic. We rotate our fields and spray as little as we can. Ask us at the stand, we’re happy to talk about how we grow.

        When do strawberries open?

        Usually the last week of June, depending on the weather. We put the opening day on this page and on the sign at the road.

        Can I buy in winter?

        Yes. The stand opens on Saturdays until just before Christmas. From January to May, call us for potatoes, carrots or garlic from the cold room and we’ll arrange a time.
