We are pleased to announce the 2023 Atlantic Outstanding Young Farmers Marijke Oudshoon and Willem van de Wetering of Spud Isle Farms, PEI! We will see these two at our national event this fall. 👍 #COYF #COYF2023

Getting back to our roots at Picturesque Farms! #haywagonride #farmtour #atlanticregion

Justin & Laura grow seed potatoes, soybeans, grain, & forages, and in 2020 added a dairy operation to their farm. They also run a custom seed grain cleaning and treating facility. Of course, the highlight of the tour for our mini OYF’ers was the hay loft & feeding the calves.

J&J Smallman Farms in Knutsford was our host for our Island Shop party. We toured their chip stock potato farm & Morgan and Karissa Smallman shared their 2022 National Presentation. Thank you so much for sharing your passion for ag & OYF with us! @MorganSmallman @PEIPotatoes

Did you know the world’s largest potato is in O’Leary, PEI? We stopped for lunch at the Canadian Potato Museum where it was all about potatoes; potato chowder, potato biscuits, fresh cut fries, and poutine! Many thanks to @CDNPotatoMuseum for hosting us! @MorganSmallman

Our first tour at Picturesque Farms in Brae PEI, home to OYF Alumni Justin & Laura Rogers & their children Luke & Mary. The pride they take in their farm is the first thing you notice. #seventhgeneration #oyffamily

Proud to Announce our 2022 Atlantic Outstanding Young Farmers, Morgan & Karissa Smallman, of Knutsford, PEI. They are passionate chip stock farmers, who take great pride in growing the world’s best potatoes right here on PEI! @PEIPotatoes @MorganSmallman #celebratingexcellence

Held my breath reading a Washington Post story on the potato border fight. It was excellent. Kudos Andrew Smith. And a great Chretien story I'd never heard. wapo.st/3sniEoV
