About Western Potatoes
Our Farm
Welcome to Western Potatoes! Nestled in the scenic heartland of the panhandle of Nebraska, we are more than just a potato farm that produces seed and chipping potatoes. We are a community where our roots run deep in the fertile soils of the American Midwest. With additional farmland stretching through Kansas and Colorado, we take pride in nurturing not only our crops but also our people.
At Western Potatoes, every hand that touches our soil is a part of our family. Our company is proudly employee-owned, flourishing under an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This means that every member of our team is not just an employee but an owner, invested in the success of every potato we grow. This structure has created a warm, motivated workplace culture with minimal turnover, where everyone’s contribution is valued and rewarded.
Our commitment to sustainability and innovative agricultural practices is at the core of everything we do. We continuously seek ways to grow our crops more efficiently and sustainably, reducing our environmental footprint while enhancing the quality of our produce. Our adoption of cutting-edge technology allows us to monitor our operations meticulously, ensuring that we are always at the forefront of agricultural excellence.
Partnering with industry leaders like Frito Lay, we are dedicated to delivering top-quality, sustainable potatoes that meet and exceed the expectations of our customers and the consumer. Inspired by our largest client, PepsiCo, we align our goals with their vision for sustainable agriculture, focusing on optimizing our resources and improving our agricultural practices to make a positive impact on our planet and community.
At Western Potatoes, we are more than just a business. We are a family, growing together, committed to providing the best in quality and sustainability. Join us on our journey as we continue to innovate and lead in the agricultural industry, one potato at a time.
