Solanum tuberosum

Botanical Name:Solanum tuberosum
Family: Solanaceae (Nightshade family)

What We're Growing:
We grow heirloom varieties of potatoes with rich flavor and nutrient density, including red, yellow, and purple-skinned cultivars. Grown in deep, loose soil, these underground treasures are harvested by hand when the vines begin to die back.

How We Use Them:
Potatoes are incredibly versatile, roasted with herbs, mashed with pasture-raised herbed butter, or chips fried in tallow.

Why They’re Good for You:
Despite their reputation as a comfort food, potatoes are a deeply nourishing, whole-food carbohydrate. They're rich in vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B6, which support immune health, nervous system function, and muscle recovery.

Purple and red varieties are especially high in anthocyanins, natural antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress.

In the Garden:
Potatoes are grown from “seed potatoes”, sprouting tubers planted in trenches and gradually mounded as they grow. They prefer loose, fertile soil and benefit from crop rotation to maintain soil health. As they grow underground, potatoes help aerate and condition the soil structure.
