 The Bioland-Hof Huber - an organic Potato Farm

Step 1 - The Process of Growing

• At the beginning some potatoes are kept at about 10C until they sprout.
• These potatoes are called "mothers" and are used as seeds.

Step 2 - The field 

• In spring ghe "mothers" are planted on the fields.
• And then they are growing from April to August.
• In autumn they are ready to be harvested.

• After the harvest the organic potatoes are brought to the farm.
• First, they are cleaned by a brushing machine.
• Then ones with mold or of the wrong size are sorted out by workers.

Step 4 - Storage

• Most of the potatoes are put on shelves in big boxes...
• ... and stacked in a huge depot
• Some potatoes are packed in small bags to be sold to stores directly

Step 5 - Delivery

• From the depot the potatoes are brought to wholesalers on the farm´s own "potato-truck"

• From the wholesalers the potatoes go to restaurants or stores
• TheGerman kitchen knows a lot of different dishes with potatoes,
• like potato soup,
• or even "kartoffel-Carpaccio"!
• And potatoes are also often used as a sidedish.
