1 Double-Certified Organic Seed Potatoes Based in Idaho, Grand Teton Organics came into being 7 years ago after owner John Hoggan purchased the land from Parkinson Seed Farm. John has over 50 years of potato growing experience ranging from production, seed selection, plant breeding, seed stock certification and research & development of new varieties. In his career, he has grown approximately 500 different varieties of potatoes. For 2017, Country Farm & Home Supply will offer over 30 of Grand Teton Organics varieties. When your state s motto is The Potato State, you can rest assured that Idaho s Department of Agriculture takes growing potatoes to eat or to replant very seriously. Stringent protocol to ensure seed stock is top quality and disease-free are of the utmost importance to the state of Idaho and to Grand Teton Organics. Field inspections throughout the growing season, lab testing of seed stock and a winter crop of seed potatoes grown in Hawaii all ensure that your seed potatoes are the healthiest, most productive seed potatoes available. If at any time any of the lots of seed potatoes begin to show signs of disease, they are culled from the fields and not made available for sale to ensure that overall disease presence in potato production areas (yours or theirs) stays as minimal as possible. Grand Teton Organics is committed to providing the highest quality organic certified seed potatoes available on the market. Their seed production program is stringent, to say the least. The journey starts at one of many Potato Germplasm Banks where propagation tissues are sent to the labs at Idaho State University. Propagation tissues are grown out in the lab to produce clean plants that are as disease-free as possible. These plants are grown in greenhouses to generate mini-tubers that then are sent to farms, like Grand Teton Organics, to be grown out in the field. It is from these mini-tubers that full sized potatoes are grown. Seed potatoes from Grand Teton Organics are no more than two field generations old; after two years of production, John will rotate the old stock out and replenish it with new minitubers to ensure that viruses, bacterial and fungal pests are not accumulating in his seed stock. After the seasonal harvest, John s seed potatoes are sorted, graded and stored at 36 degrees. They will be shipped to us in mid-february in a climate-controlled truck that will keep the tubers at 36 degrees to maintain seed dormancy. This commitment to excellence in seed production from Idaho is what we here at Country Farm & Home Supply want to offer to you, our valued family and friends. "
