Mart Produce was established in 1980 by a group of local farms. Presently, Mart Produce is owned by 2 farm families who supply about 30% of the potatoes run through the plant. The balance, or 70% of potatoes, are bought on the open market after extensive sampling to assure the best quality available for our customers. The equipment used in the packing process at Mart Produce is the most modern technology available. We use Hagan sizing equipment which allows us to package any size of potatoes required by our customers. Mart Produce also uses Volmpack baggers to assure accuracy in our weights as well as careful handling of the potatoes.Mart Produce has 3 large potato cellars on site for storage so that potatoes are always available no matter what the weather. The humidity and temperature in these buildings are constantly monitored and controlled by computer. Our location in south central Idaho is perfect for those picking up apples or onions out of the northwest and needing to finish with potatoes in Idaho. We are located just 5 miles off of Interstate 84. We also have a rail sighting for easy loading of rail cars. We operate more than 11 months per year in order to provide a regular supply of potatoes for our customers.Our goal is to provide a consistent supply of good quality potatoes to our customers at a fair market price.
