It’s a staple to the supper table in this province and Lester’s Farm Market in St. John’s is overflowing with them.
The potato fields have been plentiful this year – largely due to a cooler and wetter summer in the metro region.
Part-owner at Lester’s Farm Market on Brookfield Road, Chris Lester, says last year, it was tough to find a potato the size of a golf ball.
It’s a completely different situation this fall, however.
Lester says this year’s potatoes are huge and of great quality. They have so many they’ve decided to drop their prices to levels not seen in years.
