I have never grown potatoes before and placed my first order with this company. I fully expected to see the semi-dehydrated, crinkled seed potatoes you see in the stores. The potatoes I received looked good enough to eat. I even messed up and planted them when it was too cold outside and I was afraid they'd rot. My plants are absolutely gorgeous! They sent me a free seed packet, Dorinny Corn, which I've planted and am fully looking forward to eating. I will absolutely be buying all my supplies I can get from them for now on. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this company.
If I could rate this farm on a scale of 1 to 10, they would get a 10+. I received my order yesterday and my potatoes arrived in perfect shape and the quality is outstanding. A free packet of seeds was included and appreciated.
I had the opportunity to talk to Megan because I mistakenly ordered the wrong product and I was impressed with her genuine concern for my satisfaction.
You can bet I will be purchasing my potatoes from them from now on.
This was my first year to grow potatoes, so I ordered a sampler pack. The plants are growing like crazy! The website lets you choose your shipping date, and my seed potatoes arrived right when I wanted them. I intend to order again next year.
This is my second year growing Wood Pararie Farms fingerling potatoes. Both their seed potatoes and their retail potatoes are wonderful. It is expensive to ship potatoes but nobody near me sells the fingerlings so I treat myself occasionally.

Wood Prairie charged a huge amount for shipping. My order was prepaid over four months ago, they found themselves short for an item I paid $15 for and substituted two packs of their seeds which I do not need nor want. No communication! I ordered from them because they were featured in a well read magazine and highly recommended.

One of the owners did finally contact me. I can understand shortfalls but I feel it is reasonable to contact the customer if they choose to make a substitution rather than a refund!
This is my first try at planting potatoes. I love growing oddballs so I wanted to try the blue potatoes. I called and ordered 21/2 pounds of seed potatoes. They arrived when I asked them to be. They were large tubers packed beautifully in a nice paper sack with a postcard on it. I just got around to planting them yesterday but they were spouting and look like they will make some potatoes. They produce a beautiful catalog and send recipes to your email if you want. Recommended. They need more publicity.
We ordered 3 varieties (Butte, Red Cloud, and Yukon Gold) from WoodPrairie Farm last spring and did we ever get a fabulous potato crop! We have been eating potatoes every day, giving potatoes away, and still have 3 large containers of them. Each variety produced very delicious potatoes. We will order from them again this year.
The seed potatoes arrived in excellent condition (I live on the opposite coast) with very helpful planting and growing instructions. I have only grown potatoes inadvertently in the compost heap before now. These seem to be doing great. Product and shipping costs seem a bit pricey, but so far were worth it. Beautiful catalog. The pride in their company and product is obvious.
This is the best place to purchase your seed potatoes. Consistantly good quality, best production and they always arrive at the proper time to plant (we request they ship at a certain time as our zip codes don't fit the charts they come up with) Numerous varieties to choose from. I no longer order potatoes from any other company.

Order arrived exactly when I specified; the seed potatoes were perfect, blemish-free and held up great for a week before I planted. The "easter egg" potatoes I ordered were a hit with my family. Definitely a first-rate company!
I have always received my order on time and have always gotten high yields of potatoes. Last year my potatoe plants were decimated by colorado potatoe beetles(I do not use pesticides) and I still received an enormous yield. I am very happy.
