This fifth generation family farm carries on the tradition of providing quality seed potatoes to its customers. The Mattek’s have a strong customer base with friendships formed over many years.

Since the 1800’s, farming has been a way of life for the Mattek family. James W. Mattek operated a dairy and potato business. His sons, Eugene and James J. Mattek concentrated their efforts on potatoes and were early pioneers in the certified seed program. In 1960, the farm became incorporated and continued to raise quality foundation and certified seed potatoes.

James J. Mattek’s sons, John, Jim and Joe, currently own and operate this 1100 acre potato farm on a three year crop rotation with snap beans and winter wheat. The Mattek’s are always looking for new and promising varieties.

The future of the Mattek farms looks bright, with Joshua Mattek farming full-time with his dad and uncles. Part-time efforts are shared by Corey, Mitch, Matt, Charlie and Kyle Mattek.
