Welcome! We’re glad you stopped
by. We created this website for you, our valued customers.
Through this site you can get to know the people responsible for putting the
potatoes in your very own bag of PEI SPUDS.
We tried to think of all
the things you would be most interested in. We have included an extensive potato recipe
section, Mom's Recipes. Some of the recipes have been developed by professional chefs and
some are tried and true from out of our Mom’s own kitchen.
Check out the Spud Facts page for helpful tips on storing, nutritional information,
and some fun facts about the humble potato.
What do potato farmers do anyway? Well, hop in the back of the truck and
Tour The Farm. We’ve taken lots of pictures to give you some ideas of who we are, what we
do, and how we do it. If you like the pictures you see, check
out the Photo Shed and make
one your wallpaper!
A potato is a potato is a potato? No way! Check out Our
Varieties page and see for yourself.
We want to hear what you think! Somewhere along the way, please stop in to our
Guest
Book, hear the latest talk and sow your own seed, or Talk To Us
directly.

| Hi, Wanted to let you know we are enjoying your potatoes that I purchased at our local Co-Op grocery store. Nothing makes a great potato salad like P.E.I. potatoes. I'm from P.E.I. and it's a real treat to get some "down Home" spuds. I do have a question for you. Why is it that we never seem to get any of the larger potatoes? Where do they all go? I noticed in your photo section that there are larger ones. No worries, they're all great. We had them roasted with our baked chicken for supper tonight and they were delicious. Also great website. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipies you have on there. Thank you so much. |

| Our recipe section offers many potatoes dishes to try - soups and chowders, main courses, side dishes and, of course, Mom's favourites! A wonderful soup with lots of vegetables and cooked chicken bites. Crusty bread or rolls with fruit will complete the meal. |

| Because the potato was unknown to them, Europeans initially considered potatoes poisonous or evil due to their similarities to the nightshade family. Some members of the nightshade family include Mandrake and Belladonna, which are used for medicinal purposes. Germany's King Frederick William realized that potatoes were a good food source and ordered peasants to plant and eat potatoes or their noses would be cut off. |
