Come help harvest potatoes for the Cape Charles Food Bank, learn from Master Gardeners how to grow your own potato garden, and enjoy a tasty potato treat from Robyn’s Shore to Table.
Beyond the excitement of the harvest, growing potatoes in your garden offers other advantages, including:
- Access to Fresh, Flavorful Produce: Homegrown potatoes are often more flavorful than those from the grocery store.
- Culinary Versatility: You have a wide variety of potato types and colors to choose from, allowing for greater creativity in the kitchen.
- Self-Sufficiency: Growing your own potatoes contributes to food security and reduces reliance on store-bought produce.
- Educational Opportunity: Involving children in the process can teach them about where their food comes from and the value of hard work.
- Health Benefits: Potatoes are nutritious, providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Eco-Friendly: Growing potatoes locally can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
- Soil Improvement: Potatoes can even help improve soil conditions.
Overall, the journey from planting the seed potatoes to harvesting the final product offers a rewarding and enjoyable experience for gardeners of all levels.
