About the event

Potato Mania- Utica’s Potato Connection

Often overlooked in history, Chauncey Goodrich is known as “the patron saint of potatoes.” During the great potato famine of the 1840s, he addressed malnutrition and starvation by developing the Garnet Chili Potato in Utica, which is now the genetic parent of most commercially grown potatoes today.
