Current Shipping Status:  We will not be shipping or taking online seed potato orders for the rest of June and the entire month of July. Most of last years seed is at the end of it's lifespan and is going to be fed to beneficial soil microbes on our farm. We will attempt to save some seed for those wanting to plant in August. You may check back then to see what is available. For the new harvest, check back in September to November. We will begin to open up sales for seed potatoes as the new crop is harvested.

 

For those planting in July and August, please note that high soil temperatures could cook the potato before it starts to grow. If you plant during the hot time of year, you'll want to call it an experiment, or make sure the soil is not going to be to hot. For those who are looking at raising a fall crop of potatoes, you'll want there to be at least 90 days of growing time before a vine killing frost occurs.

Shipping by UPS or by Mail
We ship Colorado Certified Seed Potatoes in small quantities from 1 to 200 lbs in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50 lb. boxes. During the checkout process, you'll be able to choose the shipping method and compare costs.

Orders from 200 lbs. to 1000 lbs. are shipped using UPS Hundred weight service. On-line orders for 200+ pounds are adjusted by us after we receive them or you may call for a shipping quote and also place your order by phone. Orders over 1,000 pounds are shipped by Freight. Definitely call us to set up these orders.

Your Shipping Date

Many customers like to place their orders early and have us ship at a later date. During the check out process you are asked for a ship date. As a minimum, please indicate a date that is two weeks before you are able to safely plant. The rule of thumb to follow, for the earliest planting time, is to plant two weeks before your last spring frost. Then of course, you can plant anytime after that, giving yourself at least 3 months growing season before a major fall frost.

 

Shipping in March through October:

If your shipping week falls in the months of March through October, the plan is for you to receive your order later that week or the following week.  Occasionally there are delays but we work hard every year to minimize this. Most customers find that shipping 2 weeks before they plant works well. Once received, the seed potatoes will last over a month before they will need to be planted.

 

Winter Shipping:

Due to freezing temperatures in the winter, we only ship 2 to 4 times from December through February. When we have a full load of orders ready to go, we take them in a protected van or truck to UPS in Phoenix, AZ. From there they ship throughout the Southern States without the worry of freezing. To cover the extra costs, there is a $5.00 charge for each order for winter shipping. The extra winter shipping charge ends on March 1st.

 

ASAP Shipping:

In the months of April and May, we have customers that place their orders and wish that we would ship them now or even yesterday. However, we have thousands of previously placed orders to pack and ship, starting with the earliest ones placed. So if you are placing your order now, the approximate time for you to receive your seed potatoes is 2 to 2 1/2  weeks. You may put ASAP on your shipping date knowing that ASAP means 2 to 2 1/2 weeks for delivery.
