About Our Unique Sweet Potato Varieties
Our goal to produce short-season, cold-tolerant sweet potatoes that reliably produce bountiful harvests in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec’s climate with minimal inputs.
In 2018, we were gifted more than 60 new varieties of sweet potatoes bred by local plant breeder Telsing Andrews. We have selected the best of the sixty and continue trialling new varieties grown from true seed collected each year. In 2020, we partnered with the EFAO and other farms to test out the new varieties. We continue to grow several of the original varieties from the trial, as well as new varieties grown from true seed collected in 2019/2020. Read more about our sweet potato breeding program.
