VPR Cafe: Vermont Spuds Harvested With Love

EMILY McMANAMY/FREE PRESS
Daniel Schmidt of Pete's Greens harvests fingerling potatoes by picking and boxing each individual potato after a machine unearths them.

Mashed, baked, boiled, fried - au gratin, soup and shepherd's pie.  Potatoes are a staple in most diets.  Sally Pollak of the Burlington Free Press takes us to Pete's Greens in the Northeast Kingdom, where they grow 14 varieties of potatoes - plus fingerlings.

The VPR Cafe is produced in collaboration with The Burlington Free Press, where you can read Sally's account of her day on the farm.  The program is made possible on VPR by J.K. Adams in Dorset, Vermont and TheKitchenStoreOnline

Broadcast on Sunday, December 15, 2013, 10:45 a.m.

Franny was VPR's Director of Programming & Production.
Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
