Warm, dry climate

California’s sunshine and warm, dry climate mean our sweetpotato vines are lush and fast-growing, with a longer growing season allowing year-round supply.

sandy soils

Our sweetpotatoes are grown in a unique part of California’s San Joaquin Valley, where long-ago riverbeds left behind sandy soil. This soil naturally resists insects and weeds, reducing our dependence on pesticides.

cured on the vine

Because of our climate, we can cure California sweetpotatoes right in the soil, while they’re still on the vine, rather than curing them after harvest in storage sheds. Not only is vine-curing naturally chemical-free—it also increases our sweetpotatoes’ shelf life.

a hands-on approach

California sweetpotatoes are selected, planted, sorted, sized, and packed by hand. Getting up close and personal with each sweetpotato ensures it meets our high standards. Plus, using less machinery minimizes scarring and scratching—so our sweetpotatoes are not only prettier, they’re fresher longer.

STRICT REGULATIONs

We’re proud to say that California agricultural regulations, ensuring both food safety and environmental accountability, are among the strictest in the world.

Ask your retailer

California sweetpotatoes are available nationwide, but not always in your local store. If you want the best, ask your retailer to carry sweetpotatoes from California.
