The Murphy Family has been growing potatoes since their arrival from Ireland on PEI in the early 1800�s. Charles and his wife Wilhelmena purchased the sixth generation farm from the family in 1972.
Murphy�s Seed Potatoes was incorporated in 1995. Sons Randy and Francis have since become part of the family business and have contributed to its progression. The farm employs up to 12 people for the planting, growing and harvest season. Murphy�s Seed Potatoes is located south east of Charlottetown on the China Point Road.
The combination of rich soil, generations of know how and good location allows for the production of good quality seed. We take great pride in the quality of seed produced on our farm in terms of virus levels, tuber appearance and customer satisfaction.
We have a proven track record of providing top quality seed potatoes and some of our customers have been coming back for several decades. Our best sales strength is our potatoes growing on your farm. You�ll marvel at the seeds' vigor. A comparison test will prove to you that our seed has added vigor. Many of our regular customers started by trying a couple of loads in a field and watching them perform better than the rest of the field after the initial year. Good business sense keeps our customers coming back.
