Mixed Variety Packages

Too many varieties to Choose from? Keep it simple and try one of our mixed bags!

Don’t restrict yourself to just one variety, choose one or more of our Variety Bags of potatoes and be the talk of your neighborhood by mixing things up with collections from our huge selection of potatoes.  We have added 2 new Variety Bags this year including our Container & Tower Mix and Scab Resistant Mix of potatoes.

  • Container & Tower Garden Mix Pack
    Growing in containers and tower gardens is becoming more popular and is a great way of conserving space in small gardens while still being able to enjoy the space hungry potato plants.  Not all types of potatoes are suited for container growing, typically fingerling and late season varieties yield best.  Bellanita, Bintje, Amarosa & German Butterball are the 4 varieties in this package.
  • Gardeners Favorite
    We have combined a selection of out top 4 selling potatoes from last season in this mix.  Bellanita, German Butterball, Dakota Pearl & Chieftian. These packages contain 4 potatoes of each variety listed, 16 potatoes in total.
  • Heritage Variety Pack
    We are proud of our growing selection of Heritage varieties, those which have been grown for more than 50 years. These four varieties are our top selling heritage varieties, Green Mountain, Bintje, French Fingerling & Rode Eerstelling. These packages contain 4 potatoes of each variety listed, 16 potatoes in total.

Early Season Varieties

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.

  • Alta Blush

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

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.
