White sweet potatoes are a great middle point between orange sweet potatoes and your typical russet potatoes. While perhaps not as much of a nutritious powerhouse as their orange siblings, white sweet potatoes are still far more nutritious than starchy white potatoes and have a delicious sweet, crumbly flavor. With less sweetness and a less pronounced look than orange sweet potatoes, white sweet potatoes transition well between sweet and savory dishes, and make a more convincing substitute for white potatoes. Add to a savory hash; roast into wedges or fries; make a salty-sweet mash.

This small farm takes root in the fertile soil of Lancaster County, PA. Using Integrated Pest Management, Eagle Road Farm takes care to control the health of their produce by using primarily natural, biological means to eliminate pests from their farm. This is accomplished through various methods such as pest habitat manipulation, growing of resistant crops, and cultural/agricultural shifts that make the crops a naturally more inhospitable place for those pesky little critters while making the farmland richer overall. Pesticides are used rarely if ever and only applied if all other means of pest management have failed and there is a temporary, overwhelming outbreak. These exceptional treatments and materials are selected with the utmost care to ensure as minimal an effect as possible on human health, beneficial plants and organisms, and the environment.
