Organic potato program extended with Stukel Mountain Brand

Sutherland Produce Sales Inc. (Sutherland Produce), sales agent and distributor of organic fruit and vegetables, have announced the availability of its 2015/2016 lineup of Stukel Mountain organic potatoes including a full complement of Red, Russet and Yellow as well as some new additions, including specialty varieties like Russian Banana Fingerlings and Huckleberry Purple from grower partner, Carleton Organics.

Stukel Mountain organic potatoes are grown on approximately 1500 acres in the heart of the Klamath Basin outside the small town of Merrill, Oregon. Last year the Malin COOP constructed an $8 million, state-of-the-art packing facility that now washes, polishes, optically sorts and analyzes the potatoes by computer for consistent size, shape and quality before packing. Housed in a 40,000 foot facility in Merrill, the system dramatically speeds the processing and packing operation to improve time to market and ultimately, quality and freshness. Buyers can begin loading Stukel Mountain potatoes now with continuing supplies available through May of next year.

According to the company, Sutherland Produce expanded its Stukel Mountain program this year adding acreage and growers as a result of the increased capabilities of the new packing system and growing consumer demand for organics. It is said to be looking to expand its customer base as well and is currently offering attractive promotions to coincide with peak holiday consumption. For contract and promotional opportunities, buyers should contact Odilon Anguiano, Organic Sales, Sutherland Produce.
