Seed should be ordered early to get the varieties you want. Seed will likely be delivered between late March to early April.
Potato Seed is very limited from our supplier this year. Spudman information indicates that this is a national problem. Our supplier has taken all of their certified organic land out of potato production so that it can be brought back into certified organic potato production in the near future without the problems that they suffered last year.
Most of the potatoes are "traditionally" grown, by which the grower means that certified organic practices are followed except for burn down. These growers use the vine desiccant, Reglone. Conventional seed is indicated by [C} next to the name.
Regular potato seed is listed first and includes royalty seed. Fingerlings are at the end of the list.
The list of available seed is below with a description of the potato.
