Potatoes

Sorry, but we cannot ship potatoes outside of Canada.

Seed potatoes ship in March and April only. They are perishable, so we need to receive and ship them as quickly as possible.

Potatoes aren't just about starch. In fact, potatoes are one of the best known all-around bundles of nutrition due to their balanced and available protein content. Potatoes are adaptable, delicious, and have incredible yield potentials making them an excellent choice for home gardeners and market growers (expect 10 times more potatoes than you plant).

Potatoes, being members of the Solanum family, are closely related to tomatoes. After flowering, some varieties will produce small green fruits that look quite a bit like cherry tomatoes. This is not a result of cross-pollination with tomatoes, but a natural process that indicates good pollination of the potato plants. Each potato fruit contains up to 300 seeds, but potato seeds are unreliable and will not necessarily produce true replicas of their parent plant. All parts of the potato plant above ground contain the chemical solanine, which is a toxic alkaloid, so the fruits are not for eating.

Raw potato peelings should not be fed to chickens.
