Growing potatoes in P.E.I.'s red soil for three generations
A family farm on the Island's south shore, growing quality potatoes and field crops the way the Wilting family has for generations.
Good food starts with good ground
Everything Linden Lee Farm does comes down to a few simple things. Grow a quality crop. Take care of the land. Leave the ground in better shape than we found it, so I can do the same for whoever farms it next.
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, research, and patience. We treat the ground as something we borrow, not something we use up.
What we grow
Potatoes are the heart of the farm. They are not the whole of it.
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 a careful rotation that keeps the ground productive year after year, not just one season at a time.
The Island grows a good potato
Red soil, salt air, and long Island winters. It grows a potato that speaks for itself.
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. His son Hans brought potatoes into the mix, 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.

We grow at the scale the market needs and hold to the quality it deserves. Our potatoes supply major Island processors, dug from fields that run across three sites on the south shore.
