New season potatoes are very popular this time of year. We planted Pink Eyes in August and the crop is coming on strong now. We've been harvesting for about 2 weeks and have about 2 weeks left.
The bucket of spuds, in back of car, are bound for Source at Sandy Bay. I discovered this place recently and the concept is interesting. They describe themselves in two ways:
1. AN ORGANIC FOOD CO-OPERATIVE:
Providing affordable organic, local, minimally packaged & fair trade goods. The co-op lives in a beautiful straw and earth bale building located on French St. on the campus of the University of Tasmania, in Sandy Bay.
2. A COMMUNITY GARDEN:
Providing a fun & healthy way for people to spend time together, share valuable skills & grow their own food. The garden includes a wood-fired pizza oven, small apple orchard and composting facility.
