Seed Potatoes

Thank you to everyone who ordered! We hope they are growing well, and that you are looking forward to a good harvest.

Here are some of our varieties- available as fresh eating potatoes or as seed. They will be available on-line, at the farmstand, at the Pemberton market, and at winter markets in Vancouver beginning in November 2026.

Warba

the excellent early. 60 days and you have a crop (sold out already for 2026 crop)

La Ratte Fingerling

A yellow banana-type fingerling. Very prolific producers. Plants have beautiful pink flowers and are so lush they could be used for hedging. Very firm, dense, nutty flesh. (sold out for 2026 planting)

Red Pontiac

Red skin, white flesh, round shape. A lovely traditional red. The all- arounder.Produces nice, early nuggets

Gemstar Russet-Brown

russeted skin, white flesh, plump oblong shape. Fluffy, white mash, tasty skins, and the perfect bakers. Pop the smaller ones right into the oven -don’t forget to prick the skins with a fork.

Banana Fingerling

Still in early generation development, so not yet for sale. We know they taste good.

Tips & Tricks

  • Store potatoes in a cool, dark place until planting time, when the soil has warmed up to around 12°C
  • they might sprout, turn green, wrinkle, and soften before you are ready to plant. This is to be expected and they will grow.
  • prepare the bed by shoveling to create nice loose soil. They will grow in just about anything though, as long as the seed piece is completely covered either by dirt or sod.
  • plant in rows that are 2-3’ apart which gives plenty of room for hilling through the growing season
  • plant in a shallow trench, sow seed at 6” to 12” or more, and cover with soil, making a low hill
  • begin hilling as soon as the first sprouts break the ground. Keep pulling the soil up around the plants as they grow
  • potatoes like the soil to be moist but not soaking.
  • they like lots of organic matter but not to be over fertilized. We use NO fertilizers or amendments on our fields, relying instead on cover crops and long rotations.
