At Cavendish Farms we pride ourselves on high quality frozen potato products and appetizers, a strong relationship with growers in our communities, and in exceeding our customers’ needs.

Bringing the goodness of the farm to homes and restaurants is what we do best with a strong commitment to the land, to the community, and to the people around the world who love our food.”

“We extend a warm welcome to Cavendish Farms as a new member of our family of Sustaining Partners”, says WPC President Dr. Peter VanderZaag. “We at WPC are grateful for their support of World Potato Congress global initiatives.
