I purchased several crates of purple potatoes, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and winter squash from Mike about six weeks ago. Everything is holding up fine stored in a dark, cool place. I will post storage information here later. The point is, if you want to eat local through the winter, you've got to stock up on some things now while they're still available. Mike is going to give us a deal for buying in bulk, so you won't go wrong in buying more than you might on a typical trip to the grocery store.
To give you an idea of weights...a box of sweet potatoes weighed about 22 lbs; a crate of purple potatoes weighed about 40 lbs.
Here's a little blurb about Mike's farming operation.
Dodge Lodge Farm uses only natural and organic growing methods in Guilford
County. There are three other farming operations partnering with Dodge Lodge
Farm to meet consumer demand- one in Southwestern Virginia, co-managed by Mike Causey's brother and the other two in eastern North Carolina in Wayne and Duplin Counties, managed by the Rose and Cox families. These vegetables and fruits
outside the Dodge Lodge Farm Guilford County location are not totally organic
but they are pesticide free and deliciously farm fresh and heart healthy. All
farm operations involved with Dodge Lodge Farm are moving toward 100% Organic
Certification.
