World Potato Congress Inc. Welcomes Peak of the Market as a Silver Sustaining Partner
“We extend a warm welcome to Peak of the Market as a new member of our family of Sustaining Partners,” says WPC President Dr. Peter VanderZaag. “Peak of the Market is proactive in building relationships within the potato industry in the provinces of Manitoba and Alberta, Canada. We, at WPC, are grateful for their support of World Potato Congress global initiatives”.
Peak of the Market Ltd. (Peak) is a grower-owned produce company that connects great farmers with caring consumers. Their vision is to fill half of every plate across North America with fresh vegetables.
While they have a passion for all vegetables, potatoes hold a special place in their hearts. A group of dedicated farmers grow an array of high-quality potatoes, ranging from reds, yellows and russets to creamers, fingerlings, and organics.
With a full-service team from sales to logistics to packing and distribution, Peak unites the supply chain from seed to plate. Peak’s culture is defined by being “Rooted in Growers”, a foundational value that guides every decision we make.
We look forward to ongoing relationships with our Sustaining Partners as we head into the upcoming World Potato Congress in Adelaide Australia, this June 23-26.
Take advantage of the extended deadlines! Both early bird registration and abstract submissions now continue until March 31, 2024. Secure your spot and make the most of this unique potato-centric experience.
