Description

Butte is a late-season russet-type potato with large, uniform oblong tubers, russeted skin, and white flesh. It has a dry, fluffy texture and a clean, classic potato flavor that performs well in baking, frying, and general table use. The overall eating quality is strong, with dependable performance in a wide range of kitchen applications.

This variety is known for very high yields of large tubers and excellent storage capability.

We are nestled in the Kittitas valley just east of the Cascade Mountains – making shipping difficult at times. If it gets below 32F at night, we will postpone shipping your order. We use a quick reference weather map to help us determine the weather along the route our freight companies use to deliver to you. We do offer winter boxes to ship your perishables. These only hold 10 pounds and will not be shipped if the temperatures dip below 0F at the farm or en route to you.

Unless otherwise specified*, all orders ship UPS ground (average 3-7 business days). Storms and other natural forces may delay your order mid transit.

UPS routes are as follows:

• WA, OR, CA, AZ, NM will follow the I5 corridor south
• TX, OK, UT, CO will be sent to Utah and dispersed there
• All other states will follow I90 through North Dakota and be dispersed in Chicago. If it is freezing along that route, your order will be delayed.

If you would like your perishables shipped later, please call the office to have us split your order for you. *Additional shipping charges may occur. If you do not wish to split your order you have two options: email customerservice@irisheyesgardenseeds.com requesting to ship regardless of temperatures or purchase a winter box for your perishables. Please note that we will not ship winter boxes if it is below zero en route to you.

*For orders under 11 pounds, we will only ship USPS. Orders between 11.1 and 100 pounds will ship UPS Ground. If your order weighs more than 100 pounds, please contact customerservice@irisheyesgardenseeds.com as you may qualify for our Market Grower program.

Farming is not guaranteed. Occasionally crop failures or other factors happen that may reduce our yields. When this happens we will need to contact you to find a substitute item or refund you.
