Meet Gold Dust Potato Processors, who supplied the potatoes in your bag of Kettle Brand chips.
Tater Tidbit: Gold Dust Potato Processors is a fourth-generation family farm led by Weston Walker, and his dog, Spud. They have been growing for us since 2014!
Sustainable Spud: Gold Dust has participated in our corporate sustainable agriculture program and uses several regenerative practices, including:
🌱 Planting Cover Crops: adds protective cover, carbon-rich matter, and plant diversity that build soil health.
🐝 Maintaining Pollinator Habitats: supports bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
💧 Using Soil Moisture Sensors: helps farmers to steward their use of irrigation water.
🌷Practicing edge-of-field management: prevents field runoff to conserve soil and water.
In the past few years, Gold Dust has used our corporate grower grants fund to trial cover cropping to reduce wind erosion, control weeds, and build soil health.
Favorite Kettle Product: Air Fried Jalapeño
