The ANUK team had a chance to meet with Tom Hughes, President of EarthFresh Foods, at this year's PMA Foodservice Expo in Monterey, CA. EarthFresh is a Canadian produce company specializing in supplying the retail and food service industries with premium fresh potatoes, carrots, onions, beets, fresh greens, and sweet potatoes. Mr. Hughes stated "Specializing in potatoes has made us very good at understanding the effects that "Mother Nature" can have on each growing area, in each season, and on each variety. This is important since potatoes are grown in over 38 States and 8 Provinces. Quality can change from day to day, and each variety has its own strengths and weaknesses, which can help it survive inclement weather, or not. We are constantly assessing which growers have the best product, the best price, whose product cooks the best, and who can deliver on time and on budget."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">www.earthfreshfoods.com<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
