When fritesstreet invited me along on their day of Idaho Potatoes harvesting, I planned for a very fun and educational day. Obviously I have been spending some time recently learning more about where my family’s food comes from. What I didn’t expect was to be left so exposed at the inadequacy of of my understanding of the entire process of feeding America. From the love of the land of the farmers at wadafarms, to seeing the level of quality investigation from the team at Frites Street. And how their commitment to quality starts with choosing to partner with Wada Farms here in Idaho! Not to mention every step in between. And then spending a lovely lunch listening to farmers and food distributors talk shop. They were all very kind answering my questions. 🙂 This is their love. The process is astounding. And it is so separate from the simple process of grabbing a bag of potatoes from the grocery store, or ordering a side of fries. I’m sad how long I took that for granted. 

I know I shared some of my experience of the harvest in a reel, but michaelbonocore captured such stunning images that really encompass some of the beauty in the seemingly  simple act of pulling potatoes out of the ground. What I’ve found is it is anything but simple. 

Thank you fritesstreet! They heard me mention on a previous post I had NEVER been to a potato field and they took the opportunity to invite me change that and learn even more about why Idaho is amazing.

My job is very cool. What should I explore next in Idaho agriculture?
