  Beautiful Outside…Beautiful Inside

When we asked consumers  what images comes to mind when they think of Colorado, they answered …fresh…healthy…natural…beautiful…

The Majestic snow-covered peaks of the Colorado Rocky Mountains jut up 14,000 feet to surround the fertile plateau of the San Luis Valley. Here, at 7600 feet, in the highest and largest commercial agricultural valley in the world, the potato flourishes.
 
This ideal combination of location, climate, soil and practices produces potatoes that not only look good, but are good for you.   From our long-popular Russets to fast-growing specialties, potatoes grown in Colorado are known for their superior color,shape and, in some varieties, nutritional properties. The cool weather also contributes to the smoothness of the skin, while the Valley’s isolation helps eliminate pest and disease.  That’s not even mentioning the flavor that makes them a favorite in both homes and restaurants.  No other potato producing region can boast of this fortune of goods and geography!

Farmers began growing potatoes in Colorado's San Luis Valley about 1875, making it one of the oldest potato growing areas in the country. The Colorado Potato Administrative Committee, representing the area Colorado Potato Growers and Colorado Potato Shippers, recently adopted a new theme line to reflect: its reputation   QUALITY AT ITS PEAK.
