Farming P.E.I.'s south shore since the 1950s
Three generations of the Wilting family, growing potatoes on the same ground.
Good food starts with good ground
We grow a quality crop, take care of the land, and try to leave the ground in better shape than we found it.
Quality crops
Potatoes and field crops grown to a standard we hold to, season after season.
Care for the land
Healthy soil grows a healthy crop. We farm with the next season, and the next generation, in mind.
Stewardship
Rotation, patience, and a willingness to try what the research says. We see ourselves as stewards of the land.
What we grow
Potatoes
Our main crop, grown mostly for processing. Most of what we dig heads to Island plants to be turned into french fries.
Soybeans & peas
Grown in rotation with potatoes to keep the soil healthy and give the ground a rest between potato years.
Small grains
Part of the rotation that keeps this ground productive over the long run.
The Island grows a good potato
The red soil here is sandy and drains well, which is what a potato wants. The rest is rotation and timing.
A family farm, three generations on
Linden Lee Farm was started by Aike Wilting, a Dutch immigrant who came to Prince Edward Island in the 1950s and got his start with pigs and cereal crops. He and his son Hans started growing potatoes together, and today Hans and his son Aike keep them growing on the same south shore ground.
The names on the equipment have changed over the years. The way we farm, careful and hands on, has not.
