US: Continued growth for fingerling potato segment

On the back of seeing a growing need for specialty potatoes and onions in the market, Colorado based Strohauer Farms started allocating more of their resources into this area. This was back in 2006, shortly after the company also started growing organic produce. “We are always striving to increase our quality first and foremost, but then also our production.
