Also known as Japanese sweet potatoes, these tubers have deep magenta skins and a white flesh that turns champagne gold when cooked. They're simultaneously drier and creamier than orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, which means that when you roast them at high heat (cubes, wedges, circles, or halves, simply coated with olive oil and salt and cooked between 425 and 450°), their edges get unbelievably crispy and burnished, belying the pudding-like centers, which taste chestnutty rich and sweet. Make into oven fries; steam; or bake and fill for an almost cheesecake like dish.

Row by Row FarmRow by Row Farm

Hurley, NY

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.
