First problem is finding a "hay and corn store"

Sorry, showing my age, a produce store or anywhere they sell stuff to
farmers


Second problems will be customs.

Think they closed the custom gates between states years ago


Third problem is that spuds sold at supermarket comes from a different
climate.

Yes, usually, but pick out the spuds you want, then take them home Think you
will find they will grow almost anywhere

Fourth, I was hoping to grow a different variety for taste.

There are heaps of different spuds out there, Safeway sometimes have a
gourmet rack of potatos,

just sort through them and try a few of each till you find the one you like
better.

Only thing is instead of paying a few cents a kilo, you would be looking at
a couple of dollars per kilo
