2000 lbs. of potatoes are in! Come get them this Friday between 4–7 p.m. at the Grange.
Increase the diversity and abundance of locally grown potato varieties in the San Juan Islands and build community while sharing local knowledge and resources, and raise money for community programs focused on developing a resilient and thriving local food system.
Top five reasons to come to this sale:

- You will get the best quality potatoes, for a lower price, and NO SHIPPING
- You don’t have to go off-island!
- You can take advantage of free local knowledge sharing and get your questions answered by local potato growers.
- You will be supporting Food Masters Programs and the Orcas Island Seed Bank.
FOLKS, ITS A NO-BRAINER!
Join us for a panel discussion at 5 p.m. with local growers to share knowledge on potato growing methods.
