When you buy seed potatoes from O'Leary Potato Packers Ltd., you buy
directly from farmers who share your pride in growing the finest possible
crop; you are buying the same seed our growers use in their own fields. Their
quality standards are your quality safeguards, and we follow through on a
one-to-one basis to help you get the most from your seed.
Island seed quality begins at the province's Elite Seed Farm, which is
world renowned for the exceptionally high quality seed it produces for
growers on P.E.I. The Elite Seed Farm is a grower owned source of disease-free
stocks to the P.E.I. potato industry. Tubers are tested to ensure they are
disease-free and are selected for shape, skin texture, and other desirable
variety characteristics after intense field observation. These tubers are
then used as parent stock for regeneration.
All seed sold by O'Leary Potato Packers Ltd. originates from the test tubers
of the Elite Seed Farm laboratories. This is the best guarantee our growers can
get to ensure that the stock they are planting is of excellent quality
in order to produce the finest seed for export to farmers.
Throughout the growing season our quality controls are constantly in place,
with continuous monitoring of the crop for any sign of disease or insect
infestation. We keep our seed in top condition until the time of sale with
humidity and temperature control measures. These measures inhibit sprouting,
prolong life, and preserve seed quality. Our seed not only looks good when
it is delivered to you, but it is also of uniform size.
Our seed varieties can be purchased in a wide range of sizes and can
be shipped to you in bulk or bagged. To request information on our seed
varieties and their availability, please contact us.
