What's New at Moose Tubers

Welcome to our 22nd listing of high-quality certified seed potatoes. We also offer Dutch-grown onion sets, shallots and Maine-grown sunchokes. Our extensive potato list ranges from recent releases to old heirlooms, from early-maturing moist red-skinned boilers to late-maturing dry russets for storage. A wide selection of colors, textures and flavors will enchant your eye and tantalize your palate. How to choose? For an overall comparison see the variety chart.

We strive to provide our customers with the best products and service possible. As potato coordinator, I am responsible for onions, shallots and potatoes. Numerous crop failures and low yields last season made my first year quite a challenge. I extend my sincere thanks for your understanding. All of us at Fedco appreciated your patience during a most difficult year for organic seed potatoes. I am optimistic that the upcoming season will prove to be an excellent crop year so we can once again provide you with the varieties and quantities you want.

One of the highlights of my year is going to the Common Ground Fair. It is always a pleasure to meet like-minded folks. Thank you for including Fedco’s booth as one of your stops, whether to visit, shop, or just ask questions. Sharing one’s experiences is a two-way street; we both learn. If we don’t know the answer to your question, we will do our best to find the answer and get back to you.

Although the amount raised for the Scatterseed Project has declined over the past three years, it is still a successful and much-needed program. Your generous donations raised $2472 in 2007 as compared to $2700 in 2006 and $3000 in 2005. Our thanks for your support. Your donation, large or small, on the Moose Tubers order form helps pay for labor that really makes a difference in saving varieties and preserving genetic diversity.

We at Moose Tubers aim to please and are always open to your suggestions. Anyone interested in becoming involved with potato selection may apply to join our network of trial growers. Call me at (207) 873-7333 or write to: PO Box 520, Waterville, ME 04903. Your patronage is appreciated.

Peace to all,
Nancy Reitze, potato coordinator
