If you love farm-fresh food like I do, you know that quality matters. And let me tell you, after visiting the Green Giant Fresh (GGF) potato farms in Idaho Falls, I have a whole new appreciation for what goes into growing these humble spuds!

I recently took a trip to the heart of potato country to see for myself how GGF operates. From the fields where the potatoes are grown to the processing plant, it was clear that this isn’t your average potato operation. In fact, GGF has standards even higher than the USDA, ensuring that only the best potatoes make it to your table. And trust me, you can taste the difference.

A Family of Growers

One thing that really stood out to me was the deep connection between the farmers and Green Giant Fresh. Many of these families have been growing potatoes for generations, and they take incredible pride in their work. It’s not just about farming – it’s about being part of a legacy. The growers talked about how they consider themselves part of the GGF family, and that sense of pride and care shines through in every potato they produce.

The Perfect Potato

What sets GGF potatoes apart? It starts with their unique seed varieties, which are proprietary to the company. These varieties are chosen for their superior taste and texture. The flesh is creamier, the flavor is richer, and even the skins are more enjoyable to eat – some are so thin and delicate that even picky eaters will love them!

Whether you’re mashing, roasting, or making a simple baked potato, GGF potatoes make every meal a little more special.

Convenient and Delicious

But the real game-changer for busy people like us? Green Giant Fresh has made it easier than ever to enjoy healthy, farm-fresh potatoes with their innovative products, One Step... Done! and Minute Mashers. These products offer whole, fresh potatoes – skin-on and seasoned – that you can microwave in just six or seven minutes. It’s a delicious, hassle-free way to get real potatoes on the table without the prep time.

And yes, they’re seasoned with real butter and chef-inspired flavors. Honestly, they taste so good you’d think you spent hours in the kitchen!

Behind the Scenes

Not only was I impressed by how GGF potatoes are grown and processed, but I was also blown away by the care that goes into handling them. The team treats each potato with such gentleness to avoid bruising and ensure that every potato that reaches you is in perfect condition. It’s all about respect for the product and the people who will eventually enjoy it – that’s you and me!

I’m excited to share this experience with you, so be sure to check out the behind-the-scenes video from my trip (you can find it here!). I hope you enjoy learning about Green Giant Fresh as much as I did. These potatoes are truly something special, and I can’t wait for you to taste the difference!
