As you know, I'm a huge fan of Nichol's potatoes. I was completely satisfied with last year's crop until I tasted the new ones last week. Just incredible! I could eat them with every meal. Thanks for reminding all of us to buy them early and often.
Are the Nichols potatoes sprayed with chemicals? We've read several places that potatoes are one of the top produce items that you should get get organic. I haven't seen anything that explains what their practices are. Thanks.
Jean, I heard Lloyd Nichols speak a few weeks ago. I think he makes no bones that he is not fully organic--he blamed it on the cucumber beatle. Many of their crops, however, are unsprayed. I do not know about the potatoes. I'll ask today.
Jean, I asked Mr. Nichols today. No spray on the potatoes. He said that a lot of farmers put a fungacide on potatoes, often when planting, but he does not.
Enjoy away!
Thank you!
