Harvest of Warba potatoes in British Columbia signifies the beginning of summer
BC Fresh started harvesting its Warba Potatoes early this year. It is the earliest harvest that most people can remember.
Brian Faulkner with BC Fresh:
“We started harvesting our Warba New Nugget potato variety the week of May 9.”
“We’ve had an exceptional spring and the crop is two weeks ahead of schedule.”
Early season variety
Every year Warba’s are the first new potatoes harvested in Canada. It is an heirloom variety from the 1920s and differs from a regular potato as the first Warba’s are harvested immature without a skin. As the name New Nugget reveals, Warba’s are a smaller variety, varying in size from 1 inch to 2.25 inches.
Last year, BC Fresh launched a Grab ‘n Go pouch bag for its Warba New Nugget Potatoes
