Not a Kennebec
- The Chipperbec potato is a brand of a white round potato variety, which has been commonly referred to as a “Kennebec” or “Kennebec-style” potatoes in recent years.
- The actual Kennebec, a specific variety of white potato, existing today as an heirloom crop, is no longer grown in mass quantities and the word “Kennebec” has incorrectly been used in the industry as a general term for white chipping potatoes.
- The Chipperbec Potato is of its own family of varieties specific to both our growing and production programs.
