CALGARY, ALBERTA - Outside of organic, shoppers adore the word Local and locally-grown produce. Canadian-based, grower, shipper, and packer Thomas Fresh is in tune with evolving consumer needs. The company launched a new line of exclusively Alberta Grown Potatoes and Saskatchewan Grown Potatoes
Roy Hinchey, CEO, Thomas Fresh Inc.“We have been bringing Canadian potatoes to market for decades and we’ve highlighted an ongoing need for shoppers to buy local on a more central level,” said Roy Hinchey, CEO. “Consumers are looking to take the idea of ‘locally sourced’ a step further by directly supporting the provinces they reside in.”
Thomas Fresh’s partner growers work exclusively with the company’s patented potato varieties, which are carefully selected for premium flavor, appearance, and disease prevention.
“The food we eat is so closely integrated with where we live. Our aim is to remind shoppers that Potatoes are as ingrained in Western Heritage as other food staples such as carrots, beans, wheat and corn. Potatoes have been grown in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba since the first settlers arrived in Canada and became essential for feeding families and population growth.
Potatoes are part of our identity at Thomas Fresh and we are honored to share our love of potatoes with you.
