Potato farming. At SouthWind Farms it’s what we do and it’s who we are. Don’t laugh. We know it sounds sort of funny to admit that one is a potato farmer in this day and age. But there are a few things you should know about us. First and foremost, we’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty. Just like our parents and our grandparents before us, we understand that the best potato farming doesn’t happen in an office. It happens out in the field, which is where you’ll usually find us from dusk ‘til dawn, ensuring maximum quality in all of our crops.
We’re dedicated stewards of the land, bringing more than 85 years’ combined experience in sustainable agriculture to our farming practices. The hands-on approach our grandparents instilled in us is coupled with the best technology for water and soil conservation, ensuring maximum sustainability and growth. We have regular third party food safety audits and have received superior ratings throughout. Most importantly, we love what we do and we’re proud to be potato farmers.
At SouthWind Farms, we focus on personalization, whether you’re an individual customer or a national company. Our farms are nestled along the Snake River at the base of snowcapped Idaho mountain peaks, and in the past five years, we’ve grown our fingerling crop from four to 750 acres with a lot of care, innovation and pride. We grow potatoes and we market specialty farm products, and we do it all with an unprecedented level of dedication. We know that providing a healthy, quality harvest in a sustainable way is a very important job and one we take very seriously…most of the time. We’ve been known to crack a joke or two!
