CHAPPELLE'S VERMONT POTATOESFor over 20 years we have commercially grown potatoes primarily for the wholesale market. Our markets are the Hannaford stores in northern Vermont and local wholesalers who distribute our potatoes to restaurants and independent stores.
We currently grow about 50 acres of potatoes on a land base of approximately 120 acres. We rotate our fields annually and devote a great deal of effort to our small grain cover crops in an effort to improve soil health and improve the quality and yields of potatoes in the following year.
We grow about 1.5 million pounds of potatoes which are kept in a controlled storage. Starting in Septmeber, we pack and deliver about 20 tons per week until the crop is gone - generally about the first of May.
