I know our members are flung across several states in the Blue Ridge area, but for those within driving distance of Burnsville, NC, here's a great opportunity to get organic seed potatoes next spring at incredible prices. If our area is not drive-able for you, perhaps you can organize a similar multi-homestead purchase plan with your friends and neighbors.
If you're close enough to participate in our ordering group, email Rachel at chawchaw47@gmail.com for details. If you form a group of your own, contact Nature's Circle Farm in Maine for pricing, shipping and available varieties. Their email is megscott1@live.com or you can call Meg at 207-592-1476.
Nature's Circle Farm offers 21 varieties of potatoes from fingerlings to reds, whites, golds and specialty potatoes. The more folks that go in together, the lower the prices per pound.
I am going to order through Rachel since our half acre homestead (www.thelittlehalfacre.com) is in Mitchell County, NC. Last year, I ordered my seed potatoes from a well known seed company but had to pay almost twenty bucks for two pounds. Yikes! But, based on how many buyers ordered together last year through this program, my potatoes this year should run around one to two dollars per pound. Ya can't beat that!
