Mike,

I buy some organic seed potatoes form the Maine Potato Lady mainepotatolady.com You have to order by end of January for March ship dates. I buy several varieties for mid-season and late. I had great results with the Red Maria, wonderful taste, sold well at the market and used for CSA,actually just dug the last few for my own eating. I also buy non-organic local Yukon Gold and Kennebec from a local feed store in 50LB bags.

Hi All:
I'm looking for seed potato suppliers that possibly have seed available now,
but that primarily sell in larger than 1 or 2lbs garden sizes (looking for
50s)
for reasonable money.
I'm in Northern KY, but that's not a limit. Certified organic seed would be
a plus.
Thanks for any references.
Mike

Not sure if Ken has any seed potatoes for sale right now, but he is
certified organic and I was very happy with the quality of the seed
potatoes I purchased from him this spring.  Here is his website:
http://www.saranacvalleyfarms.com/index.html .  I'm not sure what you mean
by "reasonable money" as I have yet to find certified organic seed potatoes
which sell for less than ~5X the price of conventional seed potatoes.  In
2011 I paid ~$1/lb for the certified organic seed potatoes.
