Farm Fresh Direct of America, a Monte Vista, CO-based company that markets potatoes and sweet potatoes for its grower-members, is launching a new 1.5-pound bag of creamer potatoes this fall.

Eagle Eye Produce has started its new crop shipping season from its facilities in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Reports from the field point to strong quality, good sizing and stable supplies across both potatoes and onions. With harvest under way across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, and expected to continue through October, the season is off to a strong start.

Fresh Solutions Network is responding to summer heat with potato products to cool down the kitchen and save energy. 

During record-breaking heat waves consumers can avoid making things worse with hot ovens by focusing on no-cook fresh foods, preparing ahead and grilling outside. Using a microwave will not only keep kitchens cool but also save energy and money.

For the first time, Potatoes USA has released a comprehensive series of regional retail sales reports, providing an in-depth look at the factors driving fresh potato performance across eight distinct markets across the United States.

Fresh Solutions Network will feature its A Cut Above potato line along with whole potatoes and onions at booth No. 403 at the upcoming International Fresh Produce Association Foodservice Conference. More than 2,000 attendees from across the supply chain will be in attendance. FSN is also participating in the Buyer Sourcing Meetings on July 31 — a members-only, speed-dating-style event that allows foodservice suppliers to meet face-to-face with operators and distributors.
