Banana Potatoes We are famous for our Gold Banana Potatoes.  These are a real gourmet treat!  We roast them until tender with garlic, fresh dill, sea salt, and butter. They are ready now until October. They stay 'baby' all season - at full maturity they are about 4" long and about 1" wide. We also grow Red Norland potatoes, excellent for summer potato salads, and Eramosa, which translates from spanish to "the beautiful potato".  It has white skin, and is perfectly smooth and round.

Sweet Corn Taber may be famous for it's corn production in Alberta, but fresh sweet corn is absolutely the sweetest when it is fresh picked.  The sugars within the kernals convert to starch very quickly (by 50% every 24 hours).  We grow five different varieties with different maturity dates.  Our corn on the cob is ready starting usually the last week of August, and is available until the first killing frost - around mid September.  Please give us a call at 780.921.2272 to order it by the sack for corn roasts or parties.  The long weekend in September we celebrate the harvest with the Prairie Garden's Corn Fest! Come get lost in a huge 7 acre field of corn - The Great Prairie Corn Maze!  We are open until October.
