Kennebec

CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Grown in Canada since 1951, Kennebec HEIRLOOM potatoes were first bred in Maine ten years earlier. Kennebec potatoes produce high yields of oblate tubers with creamy buff skin over white flesh. These make wonderful French fries! Plants are spreading at maturity, and require close planting at 15-20cm (6-8") between plants. Kennebec is a medium/late maturing variety with excellent storage quality - but note: Kennebec is notorious for colouring up green skins if not stored in the dark. This is the best potato variety for making French fries!

Field resistant to PVA and PVY. Resistant to tuber net necrosis. Moderately resistant to foliage late blight, black leg, fusarium dry rot (F. coeruleum), phoma rot, potato wart, seed-piece decay, PVS, and PVX.

Russian Blue Organic

Russian Blue is a late season HERITAGE variety and we offer CERTIFIED ORGANIC. Dark purple skin on round to oblong tubers, plants are very heavy setting so give them more room in the row. It withstands dry conditions better than most. Their texture is much like a russet so they are good to bake or mash, cook as French fry or even make into chips; but they also can be steamed or boiled. Roasting or grilling the halves will actually darken the colour and is most recommended, as the mild taste needs help with herbs and seasonings.

Moderately resistant to late blight, hollow heart, second growth, shatter bruise, PVA, PVM, PVX, PVS. Susceptible to PVLR, PVY, common scab, bacterial ring rot, and black leg.
