| Inspecting the potatoes |
From the time our potatoes
are planted, harvested and packaged, Toner Farms Ltd. guarantees that every aspect
of the business is efficient and that we give the best of service to our customers. We ensure that you receive clean, fresh undamaged potatoes.
Every potato is traceable. We
know exactly which field the potatoes are grown in, how many times they have been sprayed and what material was used to spray
them.
Every
farm that we have is environmentally managed and rotated to make sure that our quality is consistent. By keeping the organic matter in the ground high, we produce top quality potatoes.
Safety & Handling
Food safety is a priority for us. We welcome all inspections and audits of our facility. The more we are inspected,
the more people will know how high our standards are.

Our Top Varieties
|
|
| Russet Burbank |
|
Russet
Burbank
The Russet Burbank is outstanding
in both the commercial and domestic kitchen. Fried, baked, mashed, roasted,
even dehydrated - these potatoes do it all. The Russet Burbank bakes lighter
and fluffier than other varieties and, if stored properly has a high-starch, low-sugar content making it ideal for light,
crispy French fries.
They are available from September
through July of each year. Russet Burbanks are oblong in shape, with
light russet-brown netting, shallow eyes, and white flesh.

| Norkotah |
|
Norkotah
The Norkotah is a relatively
new potato. During the past decade, it has become popular and has helped provide a year-round supply of freshly harvested
potatoes.
The Norkotah is similar to the
Burbank. It is versatile and flavourful in a variety of common uses. The Russet Norkotah is ideal for bakers because of its
"eye" appeal, but it does not bake quite as fluffy and light as a Russet Burbank.

| Gold Rush |
|
Gold Rush
The Gold Rush potato
was originally perceived as a gourmet variety, but has recently become a popular item
in the produce aisle, commanding a premium price from supermarket shoppers.
The
Gold Rush cooks well, with a dry texture after boiling or baking. It is also sometimes used for French frying. The skin
is smooth and golden white. Its shape is slightly oval and flattened. Gold Rush potatoes are harvested early-to-mid season.
