Thanks for the shout out, Jason! It was great to see you and Lorraine again. The Kunes are settling in nicely.

You need a potato fork. You should lay them out on a wood table or plywood in a single later to cure a while before you store them.

Keep a box fan going in your basement to circulate the air. It really helps

May I suggest a potato fork? Like a pitchfork, but not. Go along the row with the potato fork loosening the soil, and the girls come behind and pluck out the potatoes. Easy, peasy. I enjoy your videos.❤

Your four Stooges, Ham, Bacon, Pork Chops and Ribs!!! God bless y'all and keep growing.

Sixty years ago we lived on potatoes . . . we'd have 16 to 20 feed bags full. The better the crop the more to share with folks with small crops. Great video, cheers.

Congrats on the great potato harvest! From what I understand one of the most important things not to do is, “do not wash them until you’re ready to eat them”. And the cool dark storage you already have done.

Best channel on KZfaq! Post more videos please, idk why you don’t have millions of views each video

Great harvest. The small potatoes mom would can with fresh green beans. Seasoned when ready to heat up. So many potatoes cakes leftover with meatloaf. Mom passed in 1997 and had a food shelf that she always prepared to feed all 7 of us. 6 bushels done at a time then 6 more all summer. While in home preparation class 1969 we didn't go by menu selection. Teacher didn't know how farmers didn't go to the stores for splurge extra. Still putting things up at 70. Your keep life real. Watch all videos. Blessings from texas

You and Ben were gathering Potatoes. L.O.L. They looked fantastic. Nice to sell 2 pigs. Miss seeing Lorraine 's parents. Say 👋 hi. It's good to see the 3 of you helping each other. Family.❤❤❤ Stormy rain to night and especially Wed. We're the last state to get it. Nothing like the Islands or Texas. Flooding. 20 min. from me got HIT HARD. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏. I'll send you some rain. A broad fork would help to dig out the 🥔.

Love to see homesteader harvest time . .. meat or vegies... its satisfying to see the hard work being paid off... keep it up. God bless!

Send some spuds to the Hollar homestead, their spuds went bust this year.🤗

Jason needs to learn about potato forks. Much less damage than a shovel. Learn where to start turning and such. I have to wonder how many are still in the ground out there without turning with a fork.

Happy you were able to sell two of your pigs. They are definitely going to a caring family....did you see the nice soft bed they had for their trip home? Great luck with the potatoes. Maybe you could freeze dry some, Lorraine. Slices would be nice for scalloped potatoes, maybe grated for hash browns. Y'all have a Blessed day.

Love the Show and have followed you 3 since the very beginning!!!!

Your Family has been blessed!

I see yummy pork and potatoes with all those great veggies on the table at Sow the Land! Yum! Happy Days! 🧊☀️😄👏🥰🤗🙏🐷🥔

Great harvest !! Congrats on selling your piglets also.

I learned the trick to make the perfect potato chips!!!! Use a slicer on thin. Put slices in cold water...rinse and rinse then dry. Heat fat or grease nice and hot and put slices in grease. OMG you guys...they taste like potato chips used to taste.

You need to use a pitch fork to dig potatoes up

🥔Beautiful potatoes! Harvesting potatoes is like going on a treasure hunt. I sure enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing your farm.

Potato augratin, Hash browns, Potato pancakes, potato bread😋

Back in the day there was such a thing as a potato fork. It was a four-tined fork where instead of being pointed at the end they were rounded so the potatoes did not get stabbed.

Have you guys ever thought about selling your extra vegetables at a market? Love your videos so much, thanks Jason and family!! 💚

Don't forget Potato Bread and Potato pancakes! LOL

Hi..... Jason and Loraine and nice to see you Love watching your video homestead chicken 🐓 duck 🦆 goose farmer garden BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

As a kid we would have an acre of potato, I remember picking them up all weekend and we would store them in the crawl space under my grandfather house. Cool,damp and dark. We always had potato and plenty of pork in the smoke house.

Great potatoe harvest. Remember you can freeze fries, and can potatoes.

Nice harvest! Potatoes are so satisfying to grow. And always a surprise to find out what's under the dirt! Congratulations. I got about 60 pounds myself this year. I can't get them to last as long as you think they will in the basement though. I'm lucky to get 4-5 months before they all eye-out and get soft. I need a root cellar.

I’ll be digging up my potatoes this weekend. ❤❤❤ I love growing my own food ❤❤❤

Great job! We use the small ones and damaged ones first, and the rest gets stored with a layer of hay between them. Nice!

Very nice potato haul! Congratulations! Happy eating! Blessings Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

Tks for video. Love seeing all turkeys, chickens, and 2 piglets leaving. Great haul with your potatoes. Love to ya. See and hear you on podcast.

Great potato harvest guys...good to see yous are growing like you did at your old farm...😊

I love all Sow the Land videos!

Need a potato fork to get those a shovel will cut them... still doing a great job down there and it's enjoyable seeing you get together with Lumnah and Hollar 😉

Amazing potatoe harvest! Have you considered freeze drying some? Maybe cook some up and mash without butter and milk, then freeze dry, then powder. Or cut into fries or slices and freeze in the freezer( depending on freezer space). This could extend your storing ability. I really like watching your channel and watching what you have been able to accomplish over the years.

They squealed like a plucked pig. I love the simple pleasure of uncovering potato treasure.

I love how you gave to do the cha cha to feed the pigs 😂😂😂😂

Love the cameo from the Menards bucket :)

Fantastic harvest, really nice looking potatoes.

Beautiful harvest. Our potatoes are just blooming now so it won't be long for us. Hopeful. Amazing what a potato tastes like when you grow your own.

You will be enjoying potatoes all winter. Dark and cold is most important.

"Don't trust no pigs" Yep, been there🤣

Another sneeze. God bless you 🙏🏻

You can alway can them if they don’t store well or at least before they start to go bad. Great harvest! God Bless!

Nice harvest you guys!Blessings!

You guys did better than the Hollards did on ur spuds this year..good topic for the podcast jay..

Great potato harvest, Jason! And God bless Penelope for helping.

Potatoes like to be stored dark cool and humid. They don't like dry. The more humid the better. Winter squash need cool and dry. You work hard for your food. Please read the book Root Cellaring by Mike and Nancy Bubel. Excellent info on many ways to store your produce.

Very nice potato harvest! I'm happy for you selling 2 of your Kune's

Make sure you cure them before you but in a container to keep! Also use a pitchfork to dig potatoes you won’t damage them as much!

Well, that was a great Haul. God bless.

Great potato harvest!

Lorraine, I would dice some into chunks and blanche them, prefreeze then freeze dry them. I love having them on the pantry shelf and add FD onions, peppers, and mushrooms as a side dish.

those are the nicest looking Cornish Cross chickens I've ever seen! well done - very impressive!!!

Excellent , can’t wait to see what we have grown as first time doing potatoes

My cornish cross birds were extra good looking this year too. It seemed like they were easier to raise as well. Not sure why, but I am grateful for it.

Great harvest. Well done.

Great potato harvest. 🥔 ❤

All your birds still have feathers and it’s summer.Those vitamin Must be just what they need

If storage turns bad you can always freeze or dehydrate potatoes too. dehydrated hashbrowns are my favorite or if powder it makes instant mash

Love watching your videos.

Nice potato haul! I'm part Irish so potatoes and I, we are the best of friends. Buon appetito! 😊🥔

Wow what an awesome potato harvest!💖👍💖

Great potato harvest

Freeze and can the potatoes. Love watching y'all. God bless. Where are Lorraine's parents???

God Bless you 🙏🏻

you can use a mandolin or a food processor to slice the potatoes thin then put them in the freeze dryer. you can use them to make scalloped potatoes or you can boil them for mashed potatoes. i dont know if cubing them up and freeze drying would work for soup or not. you can also can them, which is great for a quick meal. that way you dont have to worry about needing to store the potatoes for a whole year, you can do a portion of the year with preserved potatoes. a food dehydrator would probably work too tho if you have a freeze dryer, thats always better!

Jason pick up a potato fork and use it when you harvest.

Awesome harvest 😊

Digging potatoes is a treasure 🤑 💰 hunt!

Great harvest.

I got two potato gardens this is my going on my 4th year of growing potatoes in those gardens and I've only had to plant potatoes one time This year I dug up one of the gardens because I needed room plant a lot of my other starts mostly Brussels sprouts and strawberry plants and some squash plants and I got 5 gallons of new potatoes yummy the other garden I will leave till the end of the year and the garden that I dug up I will be planting garlic in it this year but there's potato plants will still come up because there were so many baby potatoes that are still in the ground and they will come up and grow for next year but the garlic will be taller And I will be canning all of the new potatoes Because I can't eat that many And most of the new potatoes are the purple potatoes I love purple potatoes

those tiny tiny potatoes are great roasted with garlic then smashed with good butter on top

impressive potato harvest, congrats🎉

Great harvest & family time, plus the piggies! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🇨🇦

I grew Irish Cobb potatoes this year and they did really well.

One of my favorite things is to plant several different varieties as they all keep differently. First to go are the Russian Bananna's, here they last until jan feb. then the Viking purple and reds along with he French fingerlings. Then last the yukon gold. The yukon gold can last in my basement till august if your not fussy about a few soft ones.. my coldroom stayes about 5-8 degrees all winter here.

Nice potato harvest🎉🎉

Awesome potato harvest! Did you eventually figure out what types of potatoes you planted. I have one type, the purple viking harvested (purple skin and inside a white potato) and put up to use the next 6 months to a year. The next harvest will be 2 varieties of sweet potatoes. The japanese purple, and georgia jet will be harvested the first week of september. We're really enjoying planting, and harvesting potatoes.

Thank you

Potato tacos. Boil and mash them add Monterey Jack cheese. Add to the middle of a corn tortilla with tongs fry in oil. Add sour cream and salsa yum

Great main crop potato harvest. They looked excellent quality and easy peel size. It’s a wonderful thankful feeling having a successful harvest in store. Are you planting anything where they were? Greens for the chickens/pigs for winter? I assume you’re growing your own greens etc for fresh winter produce in your lovely high tunnel. Great video.

Awesome video!

Heya, nice harvest of tomato's

All those potatoes that's awesome......😊

You gotta get yourselves a spading or pitch fork to dig those taters.

My mom always used the tiny ones to can and use for stew or quick meals as they tend to go bad first.

great harvest

This year was the first time I ever grew potatoes and I did the potato tower method with straw and dirt layered method. I didn’t get very many potatoes. I think next year I’m going to use my grow bags

Canned potatoes are wonderful and so easy. Just in case thru need some preservation encouragement....

I know the sheep didnt work out but i think you might try goats. They can protect themselves better and you can harvest milk from them. 😊

Those looked great.

Wonderful!

wow you got an abundance of food............👀👀🙌🙌❤❤🙏🙏

Nice haul!

Maybe you should teach Ben to grow potatoes and cabbage.

Great spuds!!! Can i give you hack? For great spuds, you need great roots so it branches out n grows heaps of spuds. Free flowing soil with lots of organic matter (not compost) & river sand forked through, fork deep. Combine blood n bone & potash as you fork it all through. Plant 1mth later in shallow mounds & build the mounds,mulching throughout. Harvest earky season after the flowers & the maincrop after plants have died out

Try canning some potatoes. It’s a great way to preserve and they are quick to heat and eat.
