Did I ever mention to you that my husband grew up on a beautiful Northeastern Ohio produce farm on Boughton Drive in Copley, Ohio? If so, I am adding a chapter to it - my potato story.
You see, the farm has been in the Boughton family since the 1860s. It originally had animals like the song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” When I started dating my now husband, he worked on the farm and from time to time I was invited to join him. To me it was a fun novelty, not work. I rode the potato picker, sorted the potatoes as they were dumped into the long trough like shoots and had a blast riding around on the back of the wagon.
