Sweet Potato
Shipping Information
With about 50 years of sweet potato growing and shipping experience, our grower
tells us that there are specific times periods best suited for gardening success.
Plants are shipped to you after danger of frost has likely passed and the ground
has warmed up. This gives the plants plenty of growing season to produce
many big potatoes before harvest time. Your plants will be shipped as near as
possible to these dates.
Additionally, orders are shipped on a "first in, first out" basis. That
is, people that place their orders in October, November, December etc. will
get their orders before folks that wait until close to planting time.
Please plan accordingly. Also note, we will not know when your
order ships until they actually leave the farm. We will email you as soon
as we hear something. Plants are not ready and do not begin shipping until
approximately mid-April to the most southern zone.
Plants are packed into time-proven packing materials the same day as they are
mailed. Good plants, properly packed and shipped, will LIVE, GROW, and
PRODUCE.
Please note that sweet potatoes can only be shipped to all lower 48 states with
the exception of California. (Sorry California. Even though
the plants are shipped with an inspection certificate, the California Department
of Agriculture holds up shipments resulting in the death of the plants.)
