IDAHO FALLS, ID - New crop onions and potatoes will soon be hitting shelves just in time for cooler weather recipes to rise in demand. Eagle Eye Produce recently announced the start of its shipping season from its facilities in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
“This growing season started off strong with ideal late spring and early summer conditions, but warmer temperatures and smoke created some challenges later on,” said Coleman Oswald, Director of Sales. “Even so, we’re expecting a good range in size profiles and yields just slightly below normal. The investments we’ve made in technology and efficiencies over the past few years, both in the field and in our packing warehouses, have really paid off, putting us in a solid position to deliver consistent, quality packs all year. With everything in place, we’re looking forward to another successful potato season and the opportunities it will bring.”
Eagle Eye Produce offers a wide array of retail and foodservice pack styles for potatoes and onions under several proven brands, with options for private labeling and support from a nationwide sales and marketing team, a press release stated.
By handling everything from roots to routes, growing, packing, and shipping its produce, the supplier’s fully integrated approach sets it apart as an innovative leader in the produce industry.
“This season, our acreage is on par with last year’s crop,” Joe Ange, Director of Onion Sales, shared. “Despite facing hailstorms, periods of extreme heat, and even a straight-line microburst, our yields have held steady. We’ve strengthened our supply chain by partnering with additional growers and warehouses who share our commitment to quality. With harvesting now underway in the Northwest region, we’re seeing excellent sizing across our yellow, red, and white onions, and we’re confident in meeting our customers’ expectations.”
