Final order deadline for
potatoes and sets:
late spring, when we run out of stock
Ginger and turmeric will be shipped starting in late February. Onion plants and sweet potato slips are drop-shipped directly from our growers according to your planting zone/region unless you indicate otherwise at checkout. Otherwise, we begin shipping Potatoes, Onions and Exotics orders in late March, finishing by early May. We cannot ship before that; we regret that we cannot honor any requests to do so.
buff skin, white fleshReleased in 1932 by the USDA and Maine, it is the standard to which all storage potatoes are compared. Mount Katahdin (Maine’s tallest peak at 5,267 feet) is famous for its vertigo-inducing “Knife Edge” trail. Katahdin means “The Greatest Mountain” in the Penobscot language. Whether you’re hungry from hiking or gardening, set a kitchen knife’s edge to Katahdin the potato and fill your belly with its warm comforting goodness.
Very well suited to a Maine growing season, spreading plants can produce some lunkers. The tubers tend towards the soil’s surface, so hill well.
Resistant to mild mosaic, but not spindle tuber, leafroll, or scab. Medium-to-large spreading plant with many large light purple flowers. Indigenous Royalties.②
