Hallelujah! Our potato digger has saved SO MUCH TIME in the field harvesting potatoes. 

This week crew workers Jose, Ignacio and Jorge gathering potatoes after Farmer Phil drove the potato digger through the field. 

We used to cut-under the potato beds in order to loosen the soil making it easier to harvest but still digging with our hands to find them. By using our new potato digger, they are now laying on top of the ground making it a HUGE time-saver for us.

Do your carrots taste bitter, sometimes?  

Carrots should be stored away from fruits such as apples & pears, which release the ethylene gas that cause carrots to become bitter.
