VARIETIES OF POTATOES

The four primary varieties of potato are the russet, white, red and yellow. Bushwick ships every one of these different potatoes all year long from our various farms and packing shed operations. Some of these potatoes are grown and packed at the same farm or the same region of the country while many are spread out over different areas. Believe it or not, potatoes are a seasonal crop even though they are available year-round in fresh supply.
