Late Season. Kennebec is a Maine potato developed in 1941 and named for the mighty river, which bisects our state. This variety offers high yields of large round to oblong tubers with firm, starchy white flesh. Kennebec potato is great for baking, roasting, and mashing but is most known for its superior frying ability. (110-120 days)

PLANTING

Plant whole or cut into pieces (2-3) eyes each. Allow pieces to air dry for 24 hours. Place 6” apart in rows 3’ apart. Cover the tuber with soil. Continue to cover as the vines grow by hilling soil, leaves, straw, or compost over the tuber. Leave only small portions of the growing plant exposed to promote more potatoes.

Maine Certified Seed Potatoes

All of our seed is Maine certified or foundation seed that has been field-tested throughout the growing season. Samples from each field have been tested for potato viruses. Two pounds of potatoes will plant approximately 8’ row, 12 sq. feet, or 10 hills.
