Often referred to as yams, sweet potatoes pack a more nutritional punch than true yams, which have a woodier skin and starchier texture, like yucca. In fact, all the orange vegetables we call yams in North America are actually sweet potatoes, which means we have the basis for all your holiday classics right here. Chop, glaze, and top with marshmallows; mash and whip with eggs, butter, and vanilla for a sweet potato soufflé to die for; alternate slices of sweet potato and apple for a healthier, sweet side dish; or try simply mashed in place of white potatoes for a healthier alternative.

Row by Row Farm was founded in 2013 by Dakota and Mira Miller. They met while studying agriculture on a small farm in central Israel. It was there that they cultivated their dream of owning and operating an organic produce farm. After working on farms for several years they decided to take the soil into their own hands. It is with great care for the environment and its biological diversity that they aim, along with their farm crew and market employees, to grow nutrient-rich food for an expanding array of customers.
In the winter of 2016 they moved to a permanent land base and Row by Row Farm is now settled on 140 acres of prime vegetable cropland in Hurley, NY. They are focused on rebuilding what was once a multi-generation vegetable farm. The farmland has been under organic practices since 2014 and it is with a sense of great pride that they are continuing to nurture the land back to a healthy and productive state.
They do not take the opportunity of stewarding their sliver of the historic “Hurley Flats” lightly and are dedicated to continuing their agricultural journey with a sense of permanence and long term growth.
