decades ago in a 600 square foot potato shed, with one man, Glen
Alsum, one vision, and a work ethic framed by dedication and
service. Today, there are 350,000 square feet of sheds and
production space, almost 325 full-time and seasonal employees, and
200,000,000 pounds of potatoes produced annually and that doesn't
include onions, pumpkins and other fresh produce that are
distributed to grocery stores and warehouse retailers across the
country.We pack under the Alsum Farms & Produce brand plus many
national brands and customer labels. Alsum offers a wide variety of
packaging options from 12 ounces up to 50-pound packs; and in poly,
mesh, paper or cartons all from one shed. And that work ethic? It's
still framed by dedication, a commitment to service, and a belief
in providing a field-to-fork, vertically integrated business
approach that incorporates growing and harvesting, production,
packaging, and distribution, all under the umbrella of unrelenting
quality.As time ticks by, the mission, vision and values haven't
changed, although the generations of leadership have. Since 1981,
Larry Alsum has been at the helm of Alsum Farms & Produce, with his
