The potato industry in Maine is over 240 years old, brought to the state by the Scotch-Irish around 1750. Rich soil conditions, along with long warm days and cool nights, make Maine a natural home for potatoes. Between 1928 and 1958, Aroostook County alone produced more potatoes than any state in the nation. Today, Maine remains one of the top potato producing states, serving the fresh, processing and seed markets with many different varieties of high quality potatoes.

The Maine Potato industry prides itself on producing a high-quality product, whether that product is potatoes destined for your table, french fries, potato chips, or other processed potatoes. The Maine Quality Trademark is your guarantee that the contents are only the highest quality. In fact, before those potatoes can bear that trademark, they are inspected and pass requirements stricter than the United States Department of Agriculture's U.S. No. 1 grade. Just look for the blue, white and red State of Maine trademark the next time you're shopping for potatoes.
