Our packing operation washes, grades, and packs potatoes to be enjoyed throughout Canada, the United States, and Puerto Rico. We have a longstanding reputation with retailers, distributors, co-packers, and customers for providing exceptional quality, and having the capacity and flexibility to deliver what they need, when they need it.
