You must make a pledge to care for the tubers (seed), plant them and care for the vines to ensure harvesting a crop.

The crop is yours to keep as seed for the following year, sell and/or eat - except for 2 order sizes that must be returned to KPP at the end of the season.

An order size is about 3 - 6 tubers. You can expect to grow 24 - 40 tubers from one order.

6 (med size) or 12 (small) tubers (representing two orders) must be returned to KPP for other gardeners to grow next year. Your 2 orders may go to an other local grower or to any Seed Saver Exchange member.

You are making a pledge to save the seed for at least one year, but we hope that you will extend your pledge from year to year, allowing KPP to ensure the survival of all the varieties in the catalog.

KPP will act as a seed bank and receive your 2 seed orders without compensation to you. Funds collected for seed orders are used to pay for storage expenses, collection additions, and cost of shipping to SSE members in USA.

This organization is NOT a seed catalog!! We are a germplasm bank and your participation will be credited in the PPK catalog. You can take credit of being a member of the largest network of rare potato varieties growers.

We already have seed of potato varieties (less than 6 tubers each) of which less than 10 tubers are left in the United States of America. Are you ready to take on the responsibility to grow a variety that is that rare? If you fail, and the source of the seed also has a crop failure, that variety would be gone! Lost, extinct, like so many species of animals and plants are lost every year. But if you fail ... well, you may be blamed for it. Not all varieties are that rare. If you have doubts, please request varieties that are NOT critical. Thank you!
