Try Meijers. Local spuds are being harvested now and they should have the Peruvian purples and fingerlings.

Check your Farmers Markets and any food co-ops. Local Harvest / Farmers Markets / Family Farms / CSA / Organic Food will direct you to all of the businesses in your area that would carry such.

thanks for the replies all. Farmer's markets are great and everything, but they seem to stay away from the "exotic" stuff, but again they have great fresh produce. Last year I bought purples on the internet from California and planted them this year in our garden, they came out great, but I only planted a few so I got maybe 7 pounds of the purples. I will try Meijer though, they are awesome, thanks again!
