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.
