How We Farm
Our Seed Potatoes are not only Certified Seed Potatoes, but they are also Certified Organic. We have been growing our potatoes using organic methods since 2014 with the 2018 crop being the first with Organic Certification.
It was not a record harvest on the farm this season which you will see reflected in our limited selection this season. We started with only 24 varieties, down from 35 last season.
Many of your favorites will be unavailable until the 2024 growing season.
We, the Mills Family, have been growing certified seed potatoes for over 30 years. Our farm has been Certified Organic since 2018 & grows Canada’s largest selection of seed potatoes delivered to home gardeners & market gardeners across Canada.
With over 30 varieties we grow Fingerling potatoes, Purple Fleshed & Red Fleshed potatoes including many Heritage varieties. Package in 4potato packs, 1kg, 5kg, 14kg & 900kg bags.
Do you have a market garden? We can help!
We have no minimum order size, so if your having a tough time sourcing small volumes of 4 or 5 specialty varieties, ask us for our 14kg bag discounted pricing. Or if you need more than 500kg of one variety we can help with that too! Need more than 2 tonnes of one variety? Well that is getting out of our scope, but may be able to connect you with someone who can.
No Garden? We can Help with that too!
You won’t find smaller packages than ours. For your convenience our packages start at 4 potatoes, all one variety or a mix of 4 different varieties if you prefer. Which is great for testing out one of our unique varieties or for those who garden in pots on a balcony. (Learn more about growing potatoes in containers)
What is a Seed Potato?
A Seed Potato is a potato which has been grown & inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Although it is possible for gardeners to save seed for planting the following year, only farms certified are inspected and can sell potatoes for seed. Unlike many vegetables, potatoes are not grown from a true seed, but instead from a tuber (the potato). This is done because a potato grown from the seed produced on a potato plant may not necessarily produce tubers identical to the mother plant. Only by planting the potato can we ensure that potatoes harvested are the same as the potato planted.
Want to come for a Visit
There is not much to see on the farm during the winter or spring, unless you would like to avoid shipping charges and pick your potatoes up personally. However in the summer you are welcome to visit our farm to see how we farm. We have upick gardens showcasing many of our potato varieties along with a collection of Corn, Sunflower & Tree Mazes.
