Our family raises Certified Organic Potatoes on our 110 acre organic farm in northern Maine’s Aroostook County. Andean or “Irish” potatoes are the traditional crop grown by the family farmers of Aroostook for the last 200 years. Our sandy loam soils and cool climate are perfect for growing potatoes.

We have been growing organic potatoes for over 30 years amid the potato culture of Maine’s Potato Empire, formerly the leading potato production center in the US. Contrary to our neighbors who have scaled up to become large producers of process stock for french fries, we have held to tradition and remained small scale to maintain the quality of our potatoes. We utilize long crop rotations and soil building cover crops that nurture our fields and allow us to grow the best tasting and most nutrient dense (high Brix reading) organic potatoes.

We are a small, family-owned nursery on a central Vermont hillside. We grow annuals, vegetable starts, perennials, lilies, small fruits and small shrubs.
What They Say
We’ve been using Vermont Compost Company products for close to 10 years. We especially use Fort V and Perennial Blend. The Fort V gets our annuals from transplant to sale with no further fertilization needed. We do topdress our geraniums with Compost Plus to get them nice and full. All of our vegetable starts, perennials, shrubs, lilies and small fruits are planted into Perennial Blend.
TopWe’ve had such great results from using these products. It has taken the guesswork out of growing. Vermont Compost Company is a great resource for information as well as for their products.

What They Say
We did pretty good making our own soil mix. We tried several other mixes but when we went to 100% vt compost mix was the first year we were able to have a successful translate rate of 100%.
It didn’t cost us any more money than making our own.

Nestled in the ancient hills along the Kickapoo River resides a farm striving for sustainability. Although changing with every annual cycle, focus on the local and global organic movement has been a constant. With salad mix and spinach production being the specialization of Avalanche Organics, we also grow many other crops: heirloom tomatoes, potatoes, root crops, bunched herbs, squash, strawberries, asparagus and various wild crafting. We would like to thank our employees and accounts. Visitors welcome!
Our farm specializes in greens, vegetables, and culinary herbs for sale at many coops and/or restaurants in Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, Lacrosse, and Viroqua. We strive for sustainablity, and communication in our local and global community.
TopWe look to the future in pioneering more towards green power and a lighter imprint on our world as we feed more and more of our fellow citizens.
What They Say
We have been buying soil from Vermont Compost for many years now. They continue to improve past any other potting soils we have found. This year we had the opportunity to meet and visit with Karl and Joey here on our farm turf. They are wonderfully fun to converse with. It makes me want to come visit the east coast to see how many more great people with farming knowledge there are and of course to visit Vermont Compost. Networking is the key to gathering ourselves, sharing what we have to offer while preparing for the future
