Mart Produce was established in 1980 by a group of local farms.
Presently, Mart Produce is owned by 2 farm families who supply
about 30% of the potatoes run through the plant. The balance, or
70% of potatoes, are bought on the open market after extensive
sampling to assure the best quality available for our customers.
The equipment used in the packing
process at Mart Produce is the most modern technology available.
We use Hagan sizing equipment which allows us to package any size
of potatoes required by our customers. Mart Produce also uses
Volmpack baggers to assure accuracy in our weights as well as
careful handling of the potatoes.
Mart Produce has 3 large potato
cellars on site for storage so that potatoes are always available
no matter what the weather. The humidity and temperature in these
buildings are constantly monitored and controlled by computer. Our location in south
central Idaho is perfect for those picking up apples or onions out of
the northwest and needing to finish with potatoes in Idaho. We are
located just 5 miles off of Interstate 84. We also have a rail
sighting for easy loading of rail cars. We operate more than 11
months per year in order to provide a regular supply of potatoes for
our customers.
Our goal is to provide a
consistent supply of good quality potatoes to our customers at a
fair market price. |
