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.

Praise For The Self-Fed Farm and Garden

"Leave it to America's foremost organic farmer, agricultural historian, and talented teacher to map out the final frontier for organic farmers and gardeners. In this book about Big Biomass, Eliot Coleman reveals his practical system of fertility independence. He explains that we all can grow our own crop fertility amid the process of rotating our fields and gardens. The distillation is to yearly dedicate a third of your ground for a planting of lush soil-nourishing crops of winter rye and hairy vetch. In this era of ubiquitous pollution, Eliot's Self-Fed solution is safe, sound and timely."
