Description

Makah Ozette Fingerling is a historic late-season fingerling potato with deep cultural roots in the Pacific Northwest. It is one of the few potato varieties believed to have been brought directly from South America and was grown exclusively by the Makah Tribe in Washington State for generations. It was not widely cultivated outside the Makah Nation until the 1980s, when it was shared more broadly and gained recognition for its heritage and culinary value.

This variety was later included in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, a catalog dedicated to preserving distinctive foods at risk of disappearing, with permission from the Makah Tribe. It remains an important cultural food tied to Makah agricultural tradition and stewardship of plant heritage.

Makah Ozette produces prolific yields of fingerling tubers with thin skin, creamy yellow flesh, and a rich, earthy flavor. The texture is waxy and firm, making it especially well suited for roasting, boiling, and salads. It is widely regarded for both its exceptional taste and its unique historical significance.

For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?”. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.
