Because we’re passionate about fresh, responsibly grown food, we dig deeper every day by asking two important questions:
How can we make it easier for everyone to enjoy the food that we grow?
By harnessing the latest science and technology to keep improving, creating better ways to produce fresh and healthy food for you.
How can we show we're grateful to those who trust us to get the job done?
As a geographically diverse farming, distribution and marketing organization, we dig deeper in everything we do. Thank you for putting your faith in us by choosing our good food.
The Dirt:Here's how we dig deeper
Digging: Potato Needs
August 23, 2016 - Mike Behrendt
One of the services we provide our customers is a continuous supply of the highest quality product produced in an economically and environmentally sustainable fashion. To do this, our potatoes need water, land and have optimal plant health. Potatoes take a little more intensive crop management than what most are used to.
The Family Farm
June 14, 2016 - Gregg Halverson
What has been responsible for the tremendous productivity of production agriculture that has been documented over the past two centuries? Why has there been such superb continuous innovation that has incubated on the farm? Why has production agriculture grown as measured by nearly every metric during out lifetimes? Why has the ag supply chain continued to improve not only the science, but the art of production agriculture? I would argue that the answers to these questions just might be connected to the strength of the this concept we call the "Family Farm".
