Oh my goodness. First of all, how can you NOT go into a place called the Potato Shed? Especially when you've just come back from buying 100 pounds of locally grown apples from the orchard down the road, like we had when we passed? And especially when most of your diet consists of potatoes anyway?
The place has this giant loading dock out front -- clearly restaurants shop here for their spuds. But they also have normal-sized bags for home use. And after humming and hawing over which variety and size to get, we settled on a 15 pound bag of large-ish yukon golds. The cost? Five bucks. Usually at the farmer's market we buy a 4 pound back for $6. Sweet!
Don't worry, though, if you need MORE than 15 pounds, they also will sell you a 50 pound bag for only $10. I like that math! Plus as you're leaving they'll load you up with free potato information guides, cookbooks, and random promotional items like the coupon cutter we got.
Add this to your list of places to stop when you're up north! read more
