Home-Grown Potatoes Virtual Workshop

• Thursday, May 7, 2026, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Growing potatoes can be a fun, rewarding activity. Homegrown potatoes fresh from the garden taste delicious. If you’ve never had homegrown potatoes, you’re in for a real treat!

Learn how to grow them and grow your own! Our farmer-presenter Ed Fraser, Fraser’s Garlic Farm, will discuss key steps to growing spuds from planting and care, pests and diseases, to harvest and storage. This workshop will help aspiring gardeners, hobbyists, and homesteaders to a successful harvest. 

Participants will be able to purchase a gourmet Potato Medley at registration. Buy our 4-variety Medley and grow something NEW! The orders come in 3 lb. bags for $13.00 each. The supply is limited, so order soon!

• AmaRosa Fingerling - smooth red skin with creamy red flesh that resists fading during cooking, a high-yielding fingerling. Great fried, roasted, boiled, steamed, or as pink chips
• Goldrush - known for its white flaky flesh perfect for baking, boiling, or frying. This potato is excellent for winter storage, making it an ideal homestead crop
• Lehigh Gold - a high-yielding, yellow-fleshed, mid-to-late season potato variety, with all-purpose options, ideal for baking, boiling, mashing, and frying without turning gray
• Magic Molly - purple skin and unique dark purple flesh fingerling, great for roasting
