He says Julia Child recognized his spuds at Higgins in Portland

I took this video this summer at the farmer's market in Portland. This is Gene, "the potato man" from Joseph, Oregon, (5 hours northeast of Portland) and his son Patrick.  Gene tells how Julia Child ate his potatoes at Higgins in Portland and recognized where they came from right off the batt. The father and son sell heirloom varieties of potatoes, garlic and carrots, among other veggies.
