Potatoes, Onions and Exotics

Order deadline for ginger and turmeric: February 21, 2025

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.

Bulk pricing on large orders:

Orders with subtotals $1,200 and above receive bulk pricing. Bulk prices will automatically be applied.

If you have placed orders totaling at least $1,200 at Fedco within the past 12 months, additional orders qualify for bulk pricing.

Red Maria - Organic

red skin, white flesh Brace yourself for staggering yields! Red Maria will fill the root cellar, or satisfy your market’s bulk red-potato niche. Maria’s skin hue has less visual exuberance than her sister Strawberry Paw’s, but fulfills the needs of 98% of the red-potato customers. Super-sweet moist flesh. Excellent dormancy retention in winter storage.

Reddish-purple flowers, semi-upright dark green vines. Also known as NY-139. ① ②
