Idaho Falls, ID – August 21, 2024 – Eagle Eye Produce BB #:156533, a leading grower, packer, and shipper of a wide range of produce including potatoes, onions, watermelons, and mixed dry vegetables, is excited to announce the start of its new crop shipping season for potatoes and onions from its facilities in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
Coleman Oswald, Director of Sales at Eagle Eye Produce, commented on this season’s potato crop: “This growing season started off strong with ideal late spring and early summer conditions, but warmer temperatures and smoke created some challenges later on. Even so, we’re expecting a good range in size profiles and yields just slightly below normal. The investments we’ve made in technology and efficiencies over the past few years, both in the field and in our packing warehouses, have really paid off, putting us in a solid position to deliver consistent, quality packs all year. With everything in place, we’re looking forward to another successful potato season and the opportunities it will bring.”
Joe Ange, Director of Onion Sales, shared his thoughts on this year’s onion crop: “This season, our acreage is on par with last year’s crop. Despite facing hailstorms, periods of extreme heat, and even a straight-line microburst, our yields have held steady. We’ve strengthened our supply chain by partnering with additional growers and warehouses who share our commitment to quality. With harvesting now underway in the Northwest region, we’re seeing excellent sizing across our yellow, red, and white onions, and we’re confident in meeting our customers’ expectations.”
Eagle Eye Produce offers a wide array of retail and foodservice pack styles for potatoes and onions under several proven brands, with options for private labeling and support from a nationwide sales and marketing team. By handling everything from roots to routes, growing, packing, and shipping their produce, Eagle Eye Produce’s fully integrated approach sets them apart as an innovative leader
in the produce industry.
