Canadian – Certified Organic – Seed Potatoes

Amazing Flavour & Waxy Texture

These varieties not only have a unique flavour, but also a unique shape, long and skinny (finger shaped).
Roasting, BBQ’d and Soups are among their best uses.
Linzer Delikatess would be classified as a mid season potato with French Fingerling and Banana, late season varieties and Pink Fir Apple our longest season variety.
Typically you will receive 12-16 potatoes per kg

French Fingerling
French Fingerling is a late-maturing variety with oblong tubers covered in red skin containing light yellow flesh. This variety has drawn by far the largest number and most favorable comments from previous year's customers. It has the firm waxy texture characteristic of most fingerling varieties. French Fingerling grows well and sets fairly heavy also being common scab resistant.
Pink Fir Apple
Sold out for 2023 - Pink Fir Apple has been grown for over 100 years, this late season fingerling is quite unusual with long knobby pink-skinned tubers with light yellow flesh. These potatoes make excellent salads but are also great roasted, boiled, and steamed. Pink Fir Apple stores well throughout the winter and has good resistance to common scab.

Early Season Varieties

Typically you will receive 6-10 potatoes per kg for our Early Season Varieties. Larger potatoes can be cut as long as there are at least 3 eyes on each cut piece. With cutting you can expect to plant 14-16 individual “hills”.

Early Season Varieties should be ready to harvest 50-70 days after planting.

Keep an eye on the size

It is a good idea to take a peak under the hills if you want to harvest small potatoes from early season varieties. If you leave these guys too long you may end up with softball sized tubers when left to grow too long.

Mid Season Varieties

Mid Season

Many of our tastiest potatoes fall into this category with these potatoes typically maturing within 70-90 days. Mid season varieties will produce more potatoes than Early Season potatoes and typically do not get as large.

Potato Towers & Containers

Many Mid, Late & Fingerling Varieties work great in tower and container growing. Especially in Tower growing methods when soil is continually added through early stages of growth, these varieties have the ability to continually produce potatoes due to their indeterminate growing habits.

Yellow Flesh & Flavour

Some of our best tasting potatoes are our mid season yellow fleshed varieties. There is something about the yellow flesh that results in a rich, sometimes buttery flavour. Common in Europe for decades, yellow fleshed potatoes are beginning to increase in popularity in North America, for one main reason. They taste great.

Late Season Varieties

Green Sprouting

This is an easy technique to get a head start on the growing season, excellent for advancing harvest of early potatoes an ensuring late season varieties will mature in your region. The key is to sprout your potatoes in a well lit room or greenhouse which will form nice green leaves ready to start growing when you put your potatoes in the ground. More information can be found on our growing tips page.

Potatoes are Tough

I enjoy potatoes as they are relatively easy to grow. Although it is not necessary to use these supplies, however these fertilizers can increase yield and plant heath, the row cover can give a jump-start on growth in early spring & the irrigation system can help mitigate the effects of Canada’s wild climate.

Heritage Varieties

There are different definitions of a Heritage or Heirloom variety. For those purists, there are very few plants in the world that date back thousands of years in the case of potatoes, the oldest we grow dates back to the early 1800’s.

For this listing, we have only listed varieties that originate prior to 1950.

Each year we strive to source more Heritage varieties, however, there are only a limited number available in Canadian Gene Banks where all the seed potato stock material is stored.
