Organic Certified Caribe' Seed Potatoes

Hands down, these make the best whipped/mashed potatoes of any variety that we have tried over the years.

This year I had a raised bed for my potatoes, and got 25 pounds out of my 2-1/2# seed. I had a couple of seed that did not produce, but I am very happy with my results. It is also a good eating potato. I will buy again.

Your Caribes excelled in my Idaho garden last year. No pests or diseases, just a bountiful crop of tasty taters. I kept some over for seed potatoes and am looking for another variety to enjoy this year, too.

Only 1 out of 34 plants had the Colorado Potato Beetle on it, which placed this variety 2nd only to the Rose Finn and Island Sunshine for pest resistance. My 4 rating is based on the fact that this variety tied for 2nd with the lowest germination rate (24% of the hills planted failed to grow a plant). All 15 varieties were planted on the same date, so I can only guess that this variety had less eyes or did not do as well as the other 14 varieties during chitting. I will grow this variety again next year because of the pest resistance and to see if I can improve the germination by paying closer attention to the chitting and improve the yields by using more composted manure and straw mulch to protect the potato from the Virginia heat.

Dear Gerritsen Family, we had a tough growing year- too much rain, not enough sun, too many mice, late tomato blight, etc, etc. Yet we still got a winter's worth of good potatoes. Caribes continue to be our most consistent producer.

excellent in every way--yummy!!

I bought a sample packet 2 years ago. They all grew wonderful. I dug them up and enjoyed them. Apparently I did not get all the Caribe and they came back the next time the weather was favorable. I was shocked when they came up so I let them be. I dug those, ate a few and saved few. I replanted those and the excess rain just made the garden turn to mush, even carrots that were at seed did not even finish forming seeds. Then the summer heat just beat my garden to straw, I even lost a 5'x 5' rosemary plant. So I did not even dig that area and let it go to grass. About 2 months ago I found a potato growing and I now have 6 plants. I know the time is short for them as it was October when they started coming up so I just plan on saving them for seed again. The weather has really been my nemesis as I have 9 blooms on my okra in December. They seem to take the water, heat and even not even knowing they are there. This is truly a wonderful variety and plan ordering a Lb of seed to add to these because they are gems in the potato world to me.

I live in Maine, and will not plant till after Memorial Day. Last year I had 2/3 of my potatoes rot. I had planted early and we had record rainfall. it was because of this that I found your website and ordered Cranberry Red, and Caribe . They were planted well into June and have a better harvest than the original 1/3 that survived the rains. I will definately order from you again.

We are growing your caribe potatoes biodynamically at about 1200' on the Big Island. They are beginning to flower now. Thanks a bunch. ALOHA!

I have grown Caribe for two years and they are the best!! Last year I had some that were 12" long and 10" around...

No one does potatoes better! Caribe have done consistantly well for us, no matter what the summer weather.

We are enjoying our potato crop. We planted 10 lbs of your seed and just harvested 215 lbs of Rose Gold and Caribe. They did so well, I thought we would try for a second crop.

Thank you for excellent service and excellent product! The Caribe potatoes were a hit among my market buyers and to the friends I give veggies.

This is the second year that I have planted your potatoes. I wanted to tell you that I enjoy not only the quality but the wide variety if different potatoes you have available. My personal favorite is the Caribe. It bears heavy and is a pretty color to boot! It has been a pleasure to deal with your company in ordering and I look forward to receiving your catalog nex t year.

This Spring I ordered Caribe & Butte potatoes from you, my first purchase from your company. I haven't dug any Butte yet but wanted to tell you that we have been eating on the Caribe for about a month and they are Super! Beautiful to look at, wonderful to taste, with no flaws or disease. It's been years (if ever) since we so enjoyed potatoes. I'll be back next year!!!
