Schedule of Festival Events
The Wellness Farm is pleased to announce the 12th
annual Sweetpotato Festival. Get dirty, take some family pictures
and go home with plenty of sweetpotatoes. Sweetpotatoes can easily be stored for
more than 6 months! This event is meant to be a family activity. Children are
encouraged to attend. There will be contests and games. Music. Vendors.
Crafts, displays, fruit and vegetable sales. Activities. Recipes. Foods
include: SP pancakes, SP punch, SP pies, SP breads and SP fries,
SP Ice Cream, and baked SP - with toppings. Sweet Potato Cooking Demo. Open mike
for memories about sweetpotatoes. Random - hourly drawings for prizes! Gifts
will be awarded for the heaviest, ugliest and most unusual sweetpotato
dug during Festival hours. A variety of foods made from sweetpotatoes will be
available at the Festival. Admission is only $2 per person this year! Information on storing/curing sweetpotatoes is linked and dozens of recipes will soon be
available on this site.; SP t-shirts will also be available.
Sweetpotatoes are more than just a holiday food. Sweetpotatoes are rated as
the most nutritious vegetable. You’d be amazed at the number of
ways sweetpotatoes can be prepared (and even "disguised" for those who claim not to like them)! When properly cured, the
amazing sweetpotato will keep -- at room temperature -- for longer than 9
months! (No other fruit or vegetable will do that!)
Fresh, personally dug sweetpotatoes are weighed-in; the cost is 75 cents
per pound. For those who prefer sweetpotatoes
without the digging, bags of sweetpotatoes will be available at the Festival for
85 cents/pound in bins by the barn. But -- the real fun -- is found in digging
your own sweetpotatoes! It isn't difficult or strenuous.
Digging equipment and buckets will be available. Bring your own gloves if you just manicured your nails.
We have many different sweetpotato varieties available this year with
flesh colors ranging from deep orange to yellow, white and even purple.
Varieties include: Beauregard, Covington, Georgia Jet, Hernandez, Carolina Ruby,
Carolina Rose, Evangeline, Norton, Carolina Nugget, O'Henry (white) and Hayman (white) and
purple-fleshed varieties in fries and pies.

Saturday , September 29th (11 A.M. to 5 P.M.) The FESTIVAL &

This pie took honorable mention at the 2002 Juneteenth National Sweet Potato
Pie Contest. Vanilla Sweetpotato Pie took 2nd place at the 9th Annual
Sweet Potato Pie Contest (Maryland State Fair), 2003-05; the Lemon SP Pie and
Purple Passion Pies (made with purple-fleshed SP and blueberries) are excellent,
too!.
