The purple potato's lovely purple shade is completely natural; the color comes from the same pigment that makes cherries and strawberries red. It has a rich, almost winey flavor but is denser and drier than regular sweet potatoes. The key to cooking these potatoes is to bake it for longer than regular sweet potatoes, and at moderate heat, about 90 to 120 minutes at 350 degrees, at which point it becomes pleasingly moist.

Located in Honey Brook, PA the Harvest Collective is a group of farmers that all grow and contribute to our food system we're working hard to develop. Initially, we first met Reuben Riehl in the fall of 2012 and began talking about this crazy idea of him supplying the CSA. Now, two and a half years later, Reuben and eight of his neighbors are growing crops, making cheese, and raising chickens, beef, pork, duck, and lamb for the CSA. The group is only open to growers that care greatly for their land and take pride in their natural growing methods. While they are not certified organic, they do everything in their power to raise their crops and animals in the healthiest way possible.
We are a network of family farms dedicated to providing wholesale farm-fresh products as well as connection for your customers and the food they eat. We ARE your local farmers.
