This year I was fortunate enough to have a friend dig the potatoes with a 1940’s vintage potato digger. It scoops up the potatoes, tumbles them along a conveyor type belt of steel rods to get most of the soil off, them dumps them out on the ground–that’s when the work starts, picking them up Wild Things’ members have enjoyed Pontiac Reds, Yukon Gold, and Kennebec potatoes throughout most of this year’s season.
