World Potato Congress names silver sustaining partner

Jan 24, 2024

"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.

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
