These tubers are arguably the best seed stock for your gardens or nurseries. Every tuber is hand selected to give your potato plant the best chance to produce a gorgeous set of potatoes for you to harvest while reducing any chance for diseases. We grow these potatoes with the intention they will be viable seed stock. Montana’s rigorous and intense seed certification program and the short growing season/high altitude makes for some of the best seed potato growing conditions. Be a cordial neighbor to your farmer and a good gardener by only using certified seed potatoes. Using potatoes from the grocery store or non-certified potatoes for your gardening is how diseases are spread.
