The farm with a 'million dollar view'
Tucker Farms, Inc. is a family-owned and operated potato farm on the north slope of the Adirondack Mountains twenty miles north of Lake Placid. This relative isolation and high elevation is ideal for growing vigorous, top-quality, disease-free seed potatoes. In season, we also offer hand-picked, farm-fresh vegetables to those who want the highest quality produce possible, U-pick (pick your own) strawberries to those willing to work for their own, a wide variety of squash, pumpkins and gourds for those who know their cucurbits and TuckerTaters™ tablestock potatoes for those who know their potatoes. The general public is invited to our farm to explore the Great Adirondack Corn Maze™ and to learn more about us on a farm tour.

  • Tucker Farms had a bumper crop of Peter Wilcox potatoes this year. Yields were much higher than ever before and we now have an unexpectedly large supply. This purple-skinned, yellow-fleshed specialty potato is already a favorite among the top chefs in the Adirondack Tri-Lakes area. It was bred for its flavor (an unusual trait for a breeder to focus on) which some describe as full and earthy with hints of hazelnuts. It can be roasted, boiled or sliced into wedges and fried. It makes superb hash browns. It has been a top seller at farmers' markets and is becoming popular in boutique restaurants. If you haven't tried the Peter Wilcox, now is the time. If you are interested in obtaining any of our potato varieties for your use please call Steve at 518 578-8436 or e-mail Tom at adkspud@hotmail.com.
