New Year

2020…what a year that was! Because of COVID 19 we weren’t able to do the events, festivals, markets we had planned at the beginning of the year. We did however start outside at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market at Lansdowne Park in July until the end of October and attended the Orleans market later in the…

It’s spring…Go outside!

Where’s the….beef? Not from us! To celebrate our upcoming 20th anniversary of The Hot Potato Co. we’ve decided to take an epic leap of faith, and do what we feel is right. We will no longer be selling meat or dairy from any of our venues. We have based our business on traditional British foods,…

It’s been awhile!

Ok, ok, I know….2015 since the last post! We have been mainly on our fb and Instagram sites, as you can imagine maintaining all can be a challenge. We need to update…catch up…refresh from 2015! Anybody out there with suggestions for website builders or people that can help us with a funky wiz bang site? …

We’re back!

Yes, we are back at Lansdowne Park, after 3 years away at Brewer Park, outside in the sunshine! This past weekend marks the beginning of our season at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market.  Even though the market went through the winter, on Sundays, inside the Aberdeen Pavilion, traditionally the market starts in May.  It was wonderful being inside…

It was a wonderful location for us, with wonderful customers and vendors!   WE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Sparks Street can be a great Street, if it is allowed to be!…

SPU-LOG (Spud Blog)

Just wanted to let all our spud ‘eads know that we will NOT be at the experimental farm for Easter!  YES we know, can’t imagine Easter and NOT being at the farm. Unfortunately after 14 years of being “the food” at the farm, another company apparently did a deal…and that’s it we’re done!  All’s fair in love…

SPLOG Update

Yes, I know its been awhile…. oh behave yourself!   Easter came and went at the Agricultural Museum @agmuseum in the Experimental Farm, in Canada’s capital.  It was great to see our regulars back and meet new people, all enjoying themselves with the farm animals. It’s almost time for the Farmers’ Market season…. Ottawa Farmers’ Market at…
