Tom Hughes, president and CEO of EarthFresh Farms, has announced the purchase of Colorado-based Mountain King Potatoes effective September 25, 2024. 

Established in 1963, EarthFresh is a North American produce company that specializes in potatoes, carrots and onions. Headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, EarthFresh Farms now has nine state-of-the-art packing facilities in Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Ontario and Prince Edward Island. 

“We believe that there are great synergies between our two companies that include exclusive varietal potatoes, innovative packaging and products, expanded organic offerings, customer analytics and an expanded supply of fresh potatoes,” says Tom Hughes. “Our combined team will consist of more than 400 employees dedicated to servicing our customers.”

With the expanded packing locations, EarthFresh will be able to service North America within 24 hours of its packing facilities. EarthFresh will maintain the proven Mountain King brands that include premium products such as Steakhouse Russets, BuZer Golds, BuZer Reds and BuZer Russets.
