Pulling a Stuck Potato Truck Out of the Mud on Maine’s Wood Prairie Family Farm.
|
|
After four months of
steady, stubborn rain which came to total over 28” – enough to grow two
crops of Potatoes – the weather pattern has finally shifted over to
sunny and dry weather in Northern Maine.
Pictured here is the field that we were
digging our crop of Organic Maine Certified Seed Potatoes when we were last rained out. After getting our International ‘Bulk Body’ Potato
truck stuck in the mud we decided to swap over to another field with higher and
drier soil. Here, Caleb (white t-shirt)
and Justin on the Oliver 1650 Diesel Bucket tractor, deploy a chain to tug the
truck back to terra firma.
So, now we’re making good progress with
Potato Harvest. Megan and the office
crew are working hard to keep current with shipping out orders.
New crop Organic Seed Potatoes are currently available online for Pre-Ordering in small bag
sizes. Once the dust settles and the
Potatoes are ready, we’ll begin shipping orders with Potatoes by early
November.
Thanks for your business and enjoy this
fine Fall! |

The fresh taste of this Rocambole type, stiffneck garlic will broaden your view of this wonderful vegetable. Plant Organic Red Russian Garlic in the Fall for harvest next Summer. We'll Ship Organic Garlic orders in October:

Megan's Kitchen Recipes:
Creamed Potatoes With Peas.
|
|
|
|
Steam 4 small potatoes such as Carola until tender.
Meanwhile, boil 1/2 cup of half-and-half with 2 medium Genovese Basil leaves.
Add fresh Green Arrow Peas and simmer until tender. Discard basil, add cooked potatoes, and heat through.
Serves 2.
Once new potatoes and peas are ready this becomes a simple main meal in our family right up until 'digging' (Fall Potato Harvest).
