2008 is the Year of the Potato
As we all hopefully know, potatoes are a vital part of the Pemberton Valley community.
In 1967, the Pemberton Valley became the first commercial seed potato area in the world to grow virus-free seed potatoes.
The Valley’s natural isolation created by the surrounding mountains, plus careful crop monitoring, helps to ensure the continuing success of this industry. Using "clean" seed potatoes grown in the Valley helps reduce the amount of pesticides and other chemicals used to harvest this agricultural product.
