"We extend a warm welcome to Peak of the Market as a new member of our family of Sustaining Partners,” says World Potato Congress (WPC) president Dr. Peter VanderZaag. “Peak of the Market is proactive in building relationships within the potato industry in the provinces of Manitoba and Alberta, Canada. We, at WPC, are grateful for their support of World Potato Congress global initiatives.” 

Peak of the Market Ltd. (Peak) is a grower-owned produce company that connects great farmers with caring consumers. Their vision is to fill half of every plate across North America with fresh vegetables.

While they have a passion for all vegetables, potatoes hold a special place in their hearts. A group of dedicated farmers grow an array of high-quality potatoes, ranging from reds, yellows and russets to creamers, fingerlings, and organics.

With a full-service team from sales to logistics to packing and distribution, Peak unites the supply chain from seed to plate. Peak’s culture is defined by being "Rooted in Growers", a foundational value that guides every decision.

The upcoming World Potato Congress will be held in Adelaide Australia, this June 23-26, 2024.
