Shipping information

Most customers ask us to ship orders at the Best Time for Spring Potato Planting based on our 50-State Chart.

However, we do ship our Seed Potatoes 52 Weeks/Year, whenever you want them.  We harvest our crop of Organic Maine Certified Seed Potatoes in September. We begin shipping this New Crop by November 1 (sometimes earlier) and continue shipping from our on-farm underground Potato Storage, every week through the Winter & Spring & Summer until October 31.

All new potato tubers grown anywhere must go through a Dormancy Period after harvest before tubers will sprout and grow. This dormancy lasts 4-8 weeks. For planting after December 1, the dormancy concern becomes a non-issue because our Seed Potatoes will have completed their rest period and will sprout and grow when warmed up to room temperature.

Note: Orders which include 45 pound carton(s) of Certified Seed Potatoes and shipped after mid-November and prior to the week of March 24 or between July 1 and September 30 customarily require a $16.00 insulated box fee. If insulated packaging should not be necessary, you will receive a shipping refund automatically. Feel free to call (207) 429-9765 (M-F 8:00-5:00pm ET) for a Rate Quote.

Growing good potatoes begins with good seed. Our Organic Yukon Gold Maine Certified Seed Potatoes are grown by us on Wood Prairie Family Farm in Bridgewater, in northern Maine’s Aroostook County. Our best-selling variety, Yukon Gold combines an early harvest with outstanding flavor that has made this European-style golden potato a favorite with home gardeners everywhere.

Yukon Gold’s golden flesh is delicious baked, boiled, mashed or fried. Oblong, medium-to-large tubers offer versatility in the kitchen, while very good keeping quality lets you enjoy your homegrown potatoes long after harvest.

In the garden, we recommend planting Yukon Gold seed pieces 9 to 10 inches apart within the row, or 9 to 10 inches apart from one another in a bed. This variety sets a moderate-to-light number of tubers per hill, with potential for medium-to-heavy yields. We rate its ease of growing as average and its scab resistance as moderate—practical details to help you choose a variety suited to your garden and expectations.

Our family has farmed organically since 1976, and Wood Prairie Family Farm has been Certified Organic by MOFGA since 1982. Every seed we sell is Certified Organic. Our seed potatoes are Double-Certified: they are Certified Organic and also meet the State of Maine’s stringent Certified Seed Potato standards.

When you buy directly from our two-generation family farm, you’re buying from the people who grow your Certified Seed Potatoes. We share practical growing advice drawn from over 50 years of farming experience. We stand behind your purchase with our simple Wood Prairie Guarantee: you must be pleased with our products, or we will replace them or refund the purchase price.

We ship our Organic Maine Certified Seed Potatoes directly from our farm daily, year-round. We appreciate your business and the opportunity to help you grow good crops in your organic garden.
