Though Maine is mostly known for its round whites, other varieties have found success and Maine Farmers Exchange looks to sell variety this season. “We have supplies of round whites, reds, yellows and Russets which are the four basic categories,” said Davis. “I anticipate good demand for all the varieties and sizes of potatoes from Maine right through to the first of the year.”
In the past few years, a new up-and-coming variety has been the Caribou Russet according to Davis. “It hasn’t been a gangbuster, but its big advantage is that it can be used for fries as well as a table stock potato,” he explained. “For Northeast production, Russet Burbanks don’t lend themselves to packaging because they will grow crooked, but a Caribou Russet grows well here. The Caribou Russet has opened the door for growers and marketers to have flexibility.”
