As a third-generation member of the Walther family, Jason was just six years old when he realized his passion was, and always would be, farming. “Farming is a way of life and it becomes part of who you are,” Jason said. Luckily, Jason has help from nine family members including siblings and cousins to grow the best quality potatoes for Kettle Brand potato chips. The family farmers also practice sustainable farming, implementing proper crop rotations that naturally enrich the farm’s soil, including seeding 500 acres of land with a cover crop mixture every third year. By doing so, they provide valuable habitat for pollinators like the monarch butterfly, comma butterfly, eastern bumblebee and European honeybees.
When the Walthers aren’t tending the taters and pollinators, they volunteer to serve their local community schools. The farmers pack more than 600 backpacks every week with food to help students in need.
Following in the footsteps of the Torkelson men before him, Tom Torkelson began farming in the spring of 1978. Since then, his family has almost quadrupled the size of its farm, which we love – because the more potatoes, the more delicious chips we can make.
Why farming? Tom wanted to work with Mother Nature and he’s always been interested in agriculture after growing up in a family of farmers. When he’s not in the field, he’s an active part of community groups, serving as a member on the grain coop board, local nursing home board, township board – and he just started his 13th year on the school board. What a guy!
