Reasons for buying sweet potatoes straight from the farmer
Have you ever purchased sweet potatoes and in a few days you notice shrinking or the potato starting to rot? The reason for this is because of the handling of the potato during packaging. Here at Flying Tater Farm, we are skipping the packing lines and are packing straight out of the boxes after the curing time. This limits bruising and injury to the potatoes which provides you, the consumer, the best quality product.
The potatoes you order will have a small amount of field dirt on them which acts as a safety barrier. After receiving your order all you have to do is wash the dirt off of the potatoes you plan to eat and then cook. The remaining potatoes that are not eaten can be stored in a dry, cool room and consumed throughout the year. By avoiding excess handling, our sweet potatoes will store 8-12 months!
