The State Farm

The Lelah Starks Elite Foundation Seed Potato Farm, also known as the State Farm is located west of Rhinelander Wisconsin on County Highway K. This farm supplies Wisconsin growers with early generation seed potatoes on a fee-for-service basis.

All potatoes grown on the State Farm originate in tissue culture in a laboratory on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Tubers are produced from the plantlets in greenhouses on the farm. These tubers are then multiplied in the field at the farm. Both greenhouse grown and field-grown tubers may be purchased.

Varieties currently available include:
