Maverick Potato shipping 100 percent organic potatoes

Headed into year four, Maverick Potato Co. in Center, CO, has made the quantum leap to all-organic product, according to Roger Christensen, co-owner of the operation. “We’re continuing to grow, and going into our fourth year we’re very happy to be shipping all certified organic potatoes,” Christensen said, noting the transition has been done in stages. “We are 100 percent organic through the warehouse,” Christensen said on June 24. “We increased our acreage this year, and we’re looking to do more.” The varieties are russet Norkotah and Canela, Chieftain reds and Yukon Gold and Satina yellows.
