Potandon Produce Expands Grower Alliance with Driscoll Farms

Potandon Produce LLC, the exclusive marketer of Green Giant Fresh® potatoes and onions, has announced that Driscoll Farms has joined the Potandon Grower Alliance, expanding the company’s national network of premier grower partners. 

Driscoll Farms joins B&B Potato, Idaho Select, Liberty Gold and Walters Produce as part of Potandon’s core Grower Alliance. Together, the growers bring extensive farming resources, generations of agricultural expertise and a shared commitment to quality, innovation and continuous improvement.

Driscoll Farms Joins Core Grower Network

The addition of Driscoll Farms builds further momentum behind Potandon’s transformation strategy under Chief Executive Officer and President Des Hague. The expanded grower network is designed to strengthen collaboration, support a resilient supply chain and deliver high-quality potatoes and onions to retailers, foodservice operators and consumers across North America.

Thayne Driscoll, CEO of Driscoll Farms:

"Driscoll Farms has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Potandon, and we're excited to be part of the Potandon Grower Alliance. We believe strongly in the direction of the company and the opportunity ahead. The energy, focus and commitment to grower collaboration under Des and the Potandon leadership team give us tremendous confidence in what we can accomplish together."

Strengthening Quality and Supply Chain

The Potandon Grower Alliance was established to bring premier growers together around shared standards for quality, integrity and continuous improvement. Through closer collaboration and the exchange of best practices, the initiative aims to strengthen the supply chain from the field through to the retail shelf.

Des Hague, Chief Executive Officer and President of Potandon Produce LLC:

"When we unveiled the Potandon Grower Alliance, we said our core growers would be the foundation upon which we build the future of this company. Having Driscoll Farms join the Alliance immediately strengthens that foundation. They bring tremendous experience, capability and a longstanding commitment to excellence, and we're delighted to have them as part of what we're building."

"Our standard remains simple: we have an unwavering commitment to quality. Quite simply, what others accept, we reject."

"Driscoll shares that mindset. Together with B&B Potato, Idaho Select, Liberty Gold and Walters Produce, we have established an incredibly strong core alliance with the scale, expertise and shared ambition to deliver for our customers today while continuing to build for the future."

Alliance Supports Long-Term Growth

Potandon plans to continue identifying and engaging additional premier grower partners whose capabilities, values and commitment to excellence complement the Alliance and the company's long-term growth strategy. 

The Potandon Grower Alliance forms a key part of the company's broader transformation strategy, supporting stronger customer partnerships, operational excellence and continued growth of the Green Giant Fresh® brand and Potandon's portfolio of proprietary brands. 

With Driscoll Farms now part of the Alliance, Potandon aims to further strengthen its grower network, improve supply chain resilience and deliver high-quality potatoes and onions to customers across North America.
