Grown for you on family farms

Our farmers are our partners. We seek to create long-term, generational relationships with them and their families so we can continue to grow and innovate together.

Our Farmers Are Our Partners

Family Farms

Intention, partnership, and longevity are at the root of how we build relationships with our families in the field.

Generational Relationships

We’re not just interested in what farms can do for us this year, or in a two-to-three-year contract, we’re interested in what that farm can do with us for the next generations to come.

Hands-On Approach

Our farmers work closely with our agronomy team to create a complete recipe for how to grow our unique Little Potato varieties, to ensure we’re growing the highest quality, most nutritious potatoes for you.

Intentional Partnerships

We have longstanding relationships with farmers across Canada and the U.S. They invest for us and with us to make our business possible, and we do not take that lightly.

How We Work With Our Farmers

Leaving Things Better Than We Found Them

Our family farmers support the protection, restoration, and maintenance of natural habitats for biodiversity, pollinator health, and erosion control by dedicating over 3% of planted acres to grasslands, waterways, natural shrubs, and wooded areas. Together we are constantly learning and innovating to find more sustainable ways to grow our potatoes.

Our Sustainability Initiatives

It’s The Little Things

Our agronomists work closely with each farmer to grow each variety of our unique little potatoes on that field and on that farm. Contained within the agronomy plan they create are all the little things to make the crops thrive—everything from what kind of soil it needs, when to plant it, and how often to water it.

Feeding the World, Better

We choose family farms that share similar values with us. Family bonds are at the root of how we started, what we do today, and how we work together with our farmers to feed the world, better.
