I grew a surplus of potatoes (and sweet potatoes) with the intention of making them available to the local community. I was successful at producing a lot of amazing, naturally grown food to contribute to local food security and community supported agriculture, but failed at the marketing, outreach, and sales part of getting this food I grew to the hungry people who might appreciate it. Now, I'm in the middle of home renovations that include gutting my root cellar and I still have a lot of potatoes. They are all sprouting to varying degrees, but are still edible while also being totally fit for planting. It is not too late to plant potatoes. I prefer this later planting window for my main storage crops, and I still have a lot left after planting all I want to plant. I was asking $1-5 sliding scale per pound all winter, but at this point I would rather give them away than compost them all, which is what I will probably have to do with whatever is left at the end of next week. Come and get em folks. Plant em. Eat em. I don't really have time to field a million texts and emails, but bring it on. I really want these taters to find homes in the ground or in your belly (yeah, they're a little shriveled and sprouting, but they've been kept in the dark and are still fine to eat...I've been eating em...but they won't keep too much longer. Hit me up. Pay what you can, or just take em. Several varieties...not sure what all I have left.
