Epicure

E

S

This is a heirloom 1897 variety of new potato we think you'll love, which comes very early in the season.  Epicure seed potatoes are also known as Ayrshires with them being the traditional early potato in that area. Epicure has the ability to recover quickly from a nip of frost and that is why it is so popular in early producing areas. Epicure produces high yields of floury white fleshed tubers that are round in shape. One of the best tasting first earlies which are now making a comeback by popular demand. Culinary uses are boiling-salad and mashing.

Seiglund

E

S

This is an early season potato variety with oblong, slightly-flattened, smooth tubers covered with clear yellow skin. The skin is very thin, making it a preferred variety in European cuisine. The eyes are shallow and the flesh is yellow and firm. They store well. This potato has good resistance to scab, mosaic virus and warts - and tastes great as well.

Eramosa

E

This potato is named for the Eramosa River in Onario and is rapidly gaining in popularity as a first early “new” potato. Eramosa are high-yielding potatoes with excellent storage capabilities. Maturing earlier than most varieties, this potato is well-suited for early cropping. Eramosa's small, oval tubers have smooth, white skin with white flesh and shallow eyes. They are resistant to hollow heart and skinning. Plants are medium in size with olive-green leaves. We have been selecting this potato for nine years and it keeps getting better and better.

Royal Kidney

E/M

S

These are more commonly known as Jersey Royals but can only be called this when they are grown in the soil of Jersey which gives them their special taste which they are renowned. Classed as an early maincrop it can also be classed as an early due to the fact it is grown so early on some areas. Introduced in 1879 it is now considered to be a heritage variety that has stood the test of time and taste. Tubers are of a kidney shape with shallow eyes and white flesh and skin. The haulms of the plant are very strong growing. One of our earliest potatoes.
