We grow, harvest, pack, and ship Russet Potatoes, Frying Potatoes, Red & Yellow Potatoes and Watermelon for retailers, wholesalers and foodservice distributors across the United States.

Chipping Potatoes

Chippers

At Walther Farms, we have been growing potatoes since 1946 – and you could say we are passionate about growing the perfect chipping potato for fresh cut fries and chips. Each Walther Farms Premium Chipper carton is packed with restaurant operators and discerning chefs in mind. We design on farm crop management programs specifically for optimum fryer performance and quality - with the aim of consistently producing the perfect fresh cut fry.

Available year round, Walther Premium Chippers are guaranteed to fry light in color with a crispy texture. Walther Premium Chippers are grown on farms across the US and packed in our Global GAP and/or Primus certified facilities in New Mexico, Idaho and Michigan.

Watermelons

Sweet Harvest Watermelons

It just so happens watermelons love potato dirt. Once planted, our watermelons take about 90 days to grow. After Sweet Harvest watermelons are harvested, they are brushed, washed and packed in our Primus Certified Packing Facilities. Our harvest and shipping season starts in May on our Florida farm before transitioning to South Carolina and then Michigan before finishing up back in South Carolina in October.

Russet Potatoes

Strategically placing our farms where the soil is best suited for potatoes, and the weather provides the optimum number of sunny days, enables us to produce the finest potatoes for baking, frying, soups or roasting. From our farms in Idaho to our unique year-round russet program shipping out of Southern Michigan, we have your potatoes where you need them.

Baking Russets

We pack and ship potatoes from Idaho and Michigan year-round. That's right, we grow great russet varieties, used by some of the finest restaurants and retail grocery chains in the country, very close to our home office right here in Michigan, making them the potato of choice for retailers, restaurant operators, school foodservice, and wholesalers in middle America, the South and East. Our Michigan grown and packed potatoes are considered local in the five-state region around Michigan.

Frying Russets

Our Russet Frying Quality Program was designed to produce the perfect fry. We test our potatoes before, during and after harvest, while in storage and again before we pack them in Walther Premium Russet Style Fryers cartons, ensuring your customers have a great French Fry Experience every time.
