Are potatoes really a healthy product?

Perhaps there are few products that can compete with potatoes in terms of the number of well-known recipes, folklore names and sayings, as well as the degree of popular respect. We have been growing organic potatoes at There Is a Place on Earth in Ivanovo Region since 2021.

Today, the only organic farm in the Ivanovo region and one of the few in Russia certified according to international standards in the EU countries, the farm "There is a place on Earth" (ProAgro LLC) is located in an ecologically clean place of the Ilyinsky district.

This season, in addition to well–proven varieties of organically grown potatoes, we will offer consumers a large harvest of legumes and grains rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes and trace elements - beans, peas, lentils, flax, wheat, spelt, millet, as well as environmentally friendly honey from our own apiary.

We do not spray our plants with pesticides. The sederate crops that we sow to restore the soil, among other things, help our bees make truly delicious and natural honey.

Many people often talk about the dangers of certain foods, choose a food model for themselves and adhere to it. Parents try to give their children plenty of dairy products and fresh vegetables. But no one usually thinks about how these vegetables grow, especially when it comes to such a prosaic vegetable as potatoes.

It is not always possible to start organic consumption right away. This is a conscious choice that requires preparation and study. Visually, organic products are not always attractive. What nature creates can have an irregular shape, a varied size and cost more than similar products grown using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and growth regulators, because the use of intensive methods in crop production gives a richer, predictable harvest, which means it reduces producer costs. Growing products using natural fertilizers requires a lot of effort, but the result is fully justified. Plants that are not supported by artificial stimulants begin to develop natural immunity against pests, develop naturally, have a richer taste and, of course, bring more benefits to both people and our earth.

The status of organic products is not so easy to obtain. Organic products are strictly certified. The products and land of the farm undergo laboratory tests, which confirm the absence of harmful substances, residues of fertilizers and pesticides in them. The international certificate of organic origin of products is another degree of guarantee for the consumer.
