As one of the most dynamic farms in the Klamath Basin, from time to time we get to share what we do with local schools. These field trips (some of them are literally out to fields) give us an opportunity share our love for farming with the community and expose young minds to agriculture. On […]
The Chipping Potatoes Are (finally) In The Ground!
Our busy season has gotten a little less busy. Last week, on June 2nd, we wrapped up planting potatoes in a seed potato field down on the Oregon-California border near Worden. Slightly breezy and warm with a view of the Klamath Wildlife Refuge and the snowcapped Siskiyou Mountains to the south and rolling hills and […]
2016-17 Potato Shipping Season Is Over!
Another shipping season has come to an end. Normally humming with the din of machinery, forklifts and conveyor belts, the inside of the great white packing shed is all but silent.

Harvest Season Has Arrived!
Standing on the red-cinder road that runs the edges of the fields of the Running Y Ranch, you can feel the ground moving under your feet as though you’re standing on a hollow drum that someone has began slowly beating. The only grumble is from a passing potato truck, loaded down with chipping potatoes. It’s […]

Happy Holidays From Gold Dust and Walker Brothers!
We’ve finally made it to December. The driveway to Gold Dust’s packing shed is lined up with trucks, while our shed crews work hard to get them loaded with chipping potatoes and on their way. Yes, it’s busy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a little time during the holiday season to have a […]
