Blue skin, blue flesh and a harvest that invites a second look! Organic Adirondack Blue is a Cornell University selection for gardeners who enjoy growing something beyond the ordinary. We raise our Organic Adirondack Blue Maine Certified Seed Potatoes on isolated Wood Prairie Family Farm in Bridgewater, in northern Maine’s Aroostook County.
The appeal goes beyond its striking appearance. Organic Adirondack Blue has a waxy-moist texture suited to potato salads, soups and stews. Medium-to-large, oblong tubers offer a colorful starting point for familiar recipes and kitchen experiments. It is a particularly appealing variety to share with children discovering what can grow beneath a potato plant.
Plan for a Mid-Season harvest, planting seed pieces 10 to 12 inches apart within the row or from one another in a bed. Large, strong plants set a moderate number of tubers, with potential for heavy yields. This is an easy variety to grow. Scab resistance is moderate, and Potato Late Blight tolerance is medium-high.
We have made Organic seed our family’s work since our first crop in 1976. MOFGA Organic certification has been part of that commitment since 1982. Every seed we sell is Certified Organic, with no exceptions. Our Organic Adirondack Blue is Double-Certified, meeting both USDA Organic requirements and Maine’s Certified Seed Potato standards.
Our two-generation family brings firsthand Maine growing experience to your questions about planting and harvest. We want your experience with our seed to be a good one, and our Wood Prairie Guarantee makes our promise clear: you must be pleased with our products, or we will replace them or refund the purchase price.
A colorful potato patch starts with seed delivered when you want it for your preferred planting season. We ship Organic Maine Certified Seed Potatoes daily, year-round, 12 months a year, from our on-farm state-of-the-art underground potato storage. Choose a shipping date suited to your local planting plans. We are grateful for the opportunity to help you grow a successful Organic garden!
