EDMONTON, AB, CANADA - The Little Potato Company has its sights set on the future with a slate of new investments, products, people, and packaging to continue its penetration in the North American market.  

The company has recently invested in new packing facilities and distribution centers across North America to boost production for its proprietary, unique varieties of  Creamer potatoes across all 52 states in the U.S. and all provinces in Canada.

The Little Potato Company now has three main packing facilities and five distribution centers to facilitate efficient and on-time delivery throughout North America, according to a press release. This includes a new washing, sorting, and packing facility built in 2014 that tripled flow-through capacity. To support continued expansion, the company is looking at further infrastructure opportunities in the U.S.

Aiming to meet the increasing demand for what the company calls “the fastest growing segment in the potato category across North America,” The Little Potato Company has increased field production by 30 percent in 2015 by expanding its dedicated Creamer potato acreage and employing 25 new potato professionals.

“It takes our team many years to create and deliver a new variety,” said Angela Santiago, Co-Founder and CEO of The Little Potato Company, one of the largest companies in the world to focus solely on Creamer potatoes. “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.”

Each Creamer is harvested, washed, sorted, and sized before packaging. Last year, The Little Potato Company rebranded all of its material and packaging to incorporate a new logo and colors, as well as launched a new 1.5 lb. gusset bag. In all, The Little Potato Company’s proprietary Creamer potatoes are sold in 1.5 lb., 3 lb., and 5 lb. sizes.

Two unique value-added products have also recently debuted in the company’s product line: Oven | Grill Ready kits and Microwave Ready kits that bundle 1 lb of Creamer potatoes with easy-to-use trays, and a choice of six unique seasoning flavors.

“We literally travel the world working with select, global breeder partners to search out just the right attributes in Creamer potatoes,” continued Santiago. “We only accept Creamers that are unique, bursting with delicious flavor, look great – and will stay that way from farm to shelf to plate.”

Keep an eye on the company’s Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube pages for more information on its new Creamer variety to be launched later this year.
