Millions of years ago, as the ice age was ending, a ridge of “golden” soil was deposited along the top of the escarpment in what is now called Millgrove, Ontario. This special sandy loam is unique to the area, and only covers approximately one mile along that ridge.

This soil is one of the best soils in the entire region for growing potatoes, especially coloured potatoes. This “golden” soil is home to EarthFresh Farms. EarthFresh uses this farm to showcase its newest varieties to customers, other growers and plant breeders from around the world.
