Do you remember jumping rope; one potato, two potato, three potato, four, and on and on? It was a fun way to learn to count. Since then, I’ve learned Idaho spuds are plentiful and you can count on their quality. Potato harvest this Fall has been beautiful and a great success. Idaho farmers can boast about a spectacular, bumper crop. It’s such a great time of the year and we thank God daily for our blessings. <\/span><\/div>\n

You can’t even imagine all of the hard work that goes into raising a potato and what it costs. I was so surprised years ago when I learned that it cost thousands of dollars just to fertilize one field! Most of the farmers I know take great pride in what they do and are very successful. They also grow a lot of grain here.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 Will is one of my son-in-laws, (I have two that are gourmet cooks). I also have three sons who were born and raised in Idaho and they think Will would become a millionaire if he would just make his famous mashed potatoes in a funky, little, potato cafe. It’s become a family tradition, when Will is in Idaho he’s cranking out vats of his mashed potatoes!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
