Mid to late season. Keuka Gold is a rich-flavored, oval-shaped, yellow-fleshed, and buff-skinned potato. While Yukon Gold is the premier potato grown by many home gardeners, Keuka Gold has been its rival since being introduced by Cornell University in 2004. It was bred to handle the variable weather conditions of the northeastern United States with its uneven rain and fluctuating temperatures. A strong performer when grown under organic conditions with high, uniform yields. Tolerates most soil conditions. Resistant to scab and golden nematode with great storage abilities. An all-purpose potato used boiled, baked, or roasted. (90-100 Days)

 PLANTING

Plant whole or cut into pieces (2-3) eyes each. Allow pieces to air dry for 24 hours. Place 6” apart in rows 3’ apart. Cover the tuber with soil. Continue to cover as the vines grow by hilling soil, leaves, straw, or compost over the tuber. Leave only small portions of the growing plant exposed to promote more potatoes.
