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.

Monitoring soil temperatures every Spring is our May ritual for determining when the soil is ready to plant our primary crop of Organic Seed Potatoes. Tempt fate, pay no attention or jump the gun too early and you could set the stage for trouble down the road. This Soil Thermometer can help you avoid unnecessary problems like spotty emergence, Powdery Scab, Rhizoctonia, Hollow Heart and more.

Every May morning we take readings at 6” depth at 7am (before the sun gains influence) and patiently wait for the soil to crest 50oF before we start planting. Because we believe in second-opinions, we always utilize three Soil Thermometers to speak the truth to us. Our Soil Thermometer is an indispensible tool, a secret-of-the-trade which pays us big dividends. Stainless steel, 6.5” Probe, Dial-Face 2” diameter.
