Any Sarpo Mira Potato Sources In The USA?

Just found out about Sarpo Mira blight resistant potatoes. Any sources in the of these in the USA or UK vendors that ship to the USA?

Their website says they can’t sell to US or Canada. They sound great. I wonder if they are GM?

I think the gent of Oxbox Farm in Connecticut is messing around with a Sarpo breeding program.

Has a youtube page under Oxbow Farm.

I believe you'd have  to get TPS (true potato seed ) and start your own line here.
That in itself is fraught with some peril, as potato seed has restrictions on its importation.

We have a Certified Organic farm in Northern Maine and grow Maine Certified Seed Potatoes.  We sell our seed directly to home gardeners and market farmers.  We are working with Sarpo varieties and are multiplying up Sarpo Mira.  We expect to have Sarpo Mira tubers for sale beginning Fall 2022.  Jim Gerritsen  www.woodprairie.organic

Very interested in your sarpo mira potatoes. Would love to order when you are able to ship. Thank you for being willing to grow this spud in the USA.

Ken W. Wilson...Sarpo Mira potatoes are not GMO. Please read the following:

I do realize that you posted this several years ago, but Wood Prairie has organic Sarpo Mira potatoes in small quantities this year with an expected full release next year.  Warning, they are not inexpensive.

Woodprairie has em.

I’m in Ohio and currently growing Sapro Mira potatoes. I got them from Wood Prairy Family Farm. They sell the seed potatoes of Sapro Mira and also similar seed potatoes from the same Sapro family. They are growing beautifully. I’m very excited to see my first harvest.
Here’s their website: https://www.woodprairie.com/

Good Luck!

That's exciting Rita! - I grew some years ago and I think they did alright for me. Interestingly they did set some berries and I kept some seed. I suspect mine are no longer viable as they are very old now, but if yours flower you may like to try sowing true potato seed. Unlike tubers, potato diseases don't tent to carry over in the seed, so although not true to the parents they may still have interesting characteristics (and free!)
