US: California new potatoes not your classic potato
New potatoes specialty item
The potatoes are called new potatoes because they are picked small and immature and are not cured. They are more like a fresh vegetable because they have not set their skins. This results in a more creamy texture with a lot of flavor. Although more perishable, new potatoes sell for a higher price as they are a specialty item in high demand from consumers.
Certified Organic
Full Belly Farm has potatoes to sell seven months of the year. Their Certified Organic produce is sold locally within a 120 mile radius to retailers, wholesalers and farmers markets.
Spring crop depleted within weeks
The spring crop of potatoes will sell out within a few weeks. Potatoes do not thrive in hot weather, so Full Belly Farm’s next crop will be in autumn. “We’re always growing new varieties,” states Redmond, “we work to offer the customers something different, fresh, and flavorful.”
