FRIESLAND, WI - A major milestone was hit by Alsum Farms & Produce, as the grower, packer, and shipper of Wisconsin Healthy Grown® potatoes, pumpkins, onions, and wholesaler of fresh, quality produce celebrates 50 years in business. To celebrate this momentous event, the grower is throwing a huge shebang.
Alsum is inviting growers, retail and foodservice buyers, industry friends, and the public on Friday, August 11 for plant tours. On Saturday, August 12, the company will hold a community celebration, Tater Trot 5K and two-mile run/walk, and a tour of Alsum Farms potato and pumpkin farms in Grand Marsh, Wisconsin. All are welcome to shop at the farm fresh produce market, stroll through vendor and educational booths, and enjoy a brat and a Pepsi from the 95.3 WBEV Beaver Dam radio station at the Friesland-based location.
After the run/walk concludes at 10:30 a.m., President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Alsum will lead a short program of reflection to recognize Founder Glenn Alsum’s family as well as grower and industry partners who have been integral in Alsum’s success over the past five decades.
Finally, a tour of the Alsum potato and pumpkin farms in Grand Marsh will be offered to see the potato harvest firsthand and view the pumpkin fields.
