One of the crops we love to grow here at Honey’s Harvest Farm is sweet potatoes! There are many different varieties of sweet potatoes, and we enjoy focusing on three main varieties: Beauregard (traditional orange), Japanese (pink skin, white flesh), and Stokes Purple (purple inside and out). Each type has its own unique taste and benefits. Something they all have in common, though, is that they grow from slips. Slips are shoots that grow out of a sweet potato in the right conditions (similar to the “eyes” that sprout from potatoes when they get old). These slips become the lush and robust plants that produce the sweet potato tubers!During this workshop, we will share our cultivation process from last year’s tuber to this year’s plants. You will get to take home a sweet potato slip to plant at home, as well as the materials to start your own sweet potato mound with living soil. Be sure to bring buckets to fill with the materials we will provide! You will also enjoy a sweet potato treat and learn about the nutritional benefits of the different varieties.
