Wed. March 4th, 2015 - by Christofer Oberst

BAKERSFIELD, CA - The opening and opportunity to see Tasteful Selections’ brand new 200,000 square foot facility is almost upon us.

Marketed by RPE, Tasteful Selection’s “Small potatoes. Big opportunities.” campaign promotes the location, while celebratory events and group tours are scheduled to take place at the end of this month.

The potato-packing company’s physical affirmation of its growth amassing over the past five years will kick off with the opportunity to see the new plant that will store, pack, and grade more than 4,000 acres of crops - approximately 8 million pounds of potatoes, according to a press release.

Having experienced continual growth over the past five years, with numbers rising every year, Tasteful Selections is elated for the opportunity to provide jobs to the area with this expansion, anticipating the availability of more than 250 positions with the opening of this facility.

The company considers this new step a demonstration of its commitment to a higher standard of quality and innovation, with cutting-edge technology to improve the sustainability and efficiency of Tasteful Selections’ operations.

The design of the complex honors Cal Green Certification Standards and food safety regulations, includes stainless steel fixtures throughout the facility, enhanced temperature controls, and a redesigned water system that redistributes used water in either the washing process or application in nearby farmland.

The company encourages any interested parties to contact RPE for private tours of the complex.
