Here’s how we do it: We utilize advanced technology that monitors and regulates temperature and humidity levels that ensures quality and consistency Our computerized diagnostics alerts us to changing weather patterns and conditions on the outside that may impact out potatoes on the inside The technology we have put in place allows us to hold our crops longer while still maintaining our exacting quality standards In the end, our storage facilities are able to hold products that promote a uninterrupted supply of products to retailers throughout the year Our grading and packing facilities score the highest grades.

First and foremost, we’re farmers and we have been for four generations. The Bushman family understands the significance of the land to our business, and to everyone who might be influenced by healthy soil and sustainable agricultural practices. Quite frankly, if we don’t protect our land, our business will be in jeopardy. So here are some of the steps we take to be sustainable stewards: We’re part of the Healthy Grown® “Eco-Potato” movement where we meet standards by limiting high-risk pesticides for this low toxicity program We are in complete compliance with field-by-field certification and tracking programs that produce truly healthier grown potatoes In 2009, we converted 800 acres of our production to the Healthy Grown® standards Handle with care, that’s the Bushman’s transportation motto. When you spend as much time as we do planting, growing, harvesting, storing and packing our produce products, you certainly don’t want to cut any corners when it comes to shipping. And we don’t.
