After days of carefully monitoring their antics inside the barn, today was moving day for the most mischievous residents of Worth the Wait Farm: Muddy McSnout, Hogatha Christie, Bacon Bits, and Porkchop Houdini.  These four pint-sized rascals, each with their own distinct talent for trouble, were finally ready to relocate to their new field—a spacious area where they could dig, root, and plot fresh chaos.

Armed with a sort board and unwavering optimism, the plan seemed simple: guide them gently down the path, let them explore their new home, and then watch them settle in with minimal fuss.

At Worth the Wait Farm, the arrival of spring signals the beginning of another exciting planting season. This year, we prepared our fields with care, ensuring the soil was ready to nurture a bountiful potato harvest.

Preparing the Fields

Before planting, the fields were disc harrowed, breaking up the soil and creating the perfect environment for our seed potatoes. Once the ground was ready, we dug holes approximately 12 inches apart, carefully placing each seed potato into its new home.

The Potato Varieties We Planted

This season, we selected a diverse range of potatoes from The Maine Potato Lady, each offering unique flavors, colors, and culinary possibilities:

- Laratte – A French fingerling variety with a nutty, chestnut-like flavor and firm, waxy texture.
