Product Information
Notes on Varieties -- Potatoes
In Washington, the current popular Potato variety
for growing and shipping is the "Russet Norkotah". It has a medium brown skin, is favored for its
classic smooth oval 'potato' shape and is resistant to internal defects. The Norkotah
variety is planted in early spring and can be ready for harvest in Mid-Late July depending
on growing conditions. This variety is shipped year-round, with Washington and Oregon
being leaders in bringing it into the limelight as the potato of choice in the fresh
marketplace.
Basin Gold also ships two other varieties during our Summer harvest, these
include a red potato and a yellow fleshed 'Yukon' variety. Both the red and Yukon have
short marketing seasons with availability from July and into August.

Notes on Varieties -- Onions
Onions have numerous varieties, but those
that we grow and ship are mainly broken down into three main groups: Yellows, Whites
and Reds. The yellow variety has a crisp paper skin, and is the most commonly seen
onion at your neighborhood supermarket. Yellow onions are available beginning in
August, continuing into Spring of the next year. Availability is usually excellent,
depending on the market. The white and red varieties are also popular, yet stocks on
hand can be tight due to a higher cost associated with raising crops of good
quality. White and red varieties are harvested in late Summer and shipped out of the
Northwest until late Spring of the next year.
Packaging and Shipping
Just as we do with
Potatoes, packaging and shipping solutions are numerous. Click here to see popular sizes and packs for Onions.
