Little Potato Company Sees Sweet Results for Creamers
EDMONTON, AB, CANADA - The Little Potato Company, provider of proprietary, unique varieties of Creamer potatoes, reports that it is the fastest growing segment in the potato category across North America.
The company breeds, grows, washes, packages, ships and markets Creamer potatoes, and has increased its listing base to include all of the United States as well as all Canadian provinces, according to a press release.
“We literally travel the world working with select, global breeder partners to search out just the right attributes in Creamer potatoes,” Angela Santiago, Co-Founder and CEO of The Little Potato Company, commented in the release. To support continued expansion, the company is looking at more infrastructure opportunities in the U.S. and are putting the finishing touches on a new Creamer variety to be launched later this year.
“We only accept Creamers that are unique, bursting with delicious flavor, look great—and will stay that way from farm to shelf to plate. It takes our team many years to create and deliver a new variety. It takes experience, care, and planning to make sure all our Creamers taste and look fantastic, and that our growers can grow enough to satisfy increasing demand from Creamer potato lovers,” Santiago said.
To date, The Little Potato Company has three main packing facilities and five distribution centers to facilitate efficient, timely delivery throughout North America, including a new washing, sorting, and packing facility that tripled flow-through capacity that was built last year.
The company offers several unique proprietary varieties of Creamer potatoes that it sells in 1.5, 3 lb, and 5 lb sizes. It recently launched two unique value-added products: The Oven|Grill Ready kits and Microwave Ready kits that bundle Creamer potatoes, easy-to-use trays, and a choice of six unique seasoning flavors.
Having increased field production by 30% in 2015 through expanding its team of carefully selected growers and the total number of acres dedicated to growing Creamer potatoes, the company stated it has big plans and possibilities for the future.
