We grow and distribute produce by the trainload.
Of course, those were the good old days when our very own “Boxcar Joe” tilled the soil, harvested the crops, and loaded the boxcars all before lunch. Today, Bushman’s, Americas premier produce provider, grows and ships – mostly by truck – more than 10 million pounds of produce every year.
If you’re a grocer, retailer or food service provider, Bushman’s is your source for virtually any type of produce including potatoes of all varieties, onions, vegetables and a wide range of fruits. As fourth generational farmers, we know quality, but we also know that you want consistency, and that’s what we’re renowned for.
We grow, pack and ship throughout the U.S. and Canada.
It’s a big territory but when you utilize 25 different facilities across the country, you can deliver. And that’s what we do consistently. We deliver the highest quality produce to the highest quality retailers and food services providers in the U.S. and Canada. From our fields and storage sheds, to our technologically advanced packing sheds and transportation fleet, we provide every state in the country with Bushman’s produce.

Our operational know-how is unlike no other.
Some might say it’s not rocket science but we can tell you it is the science of agriculture, of agronomy, of handling and logistics, of food safety, and quality control, of research and testing, and, of course, the science of great customer service and support. Our operational know-how gives retailers the confidence that they’re providing the best produce to their customers. Here’s a little bit about us:
Thanks to our advanced technology storage facilities, year-round goodness is in store.
There’s a lot of science and technology that goes into storing potatoes. Imagine keeping one million pounds or more of potatoes in storage for months at a time so retailers have a steady supply of a wide range of potato varieties to fulfill the appetites of America’s families. At Bushman’s, we’re known for our storage expertise, and that’s critical because quality and consistency needs to be maintained throughout the storage season. Here’s how we do it:
Our grading and packing facilities score the highest grades.
Bushman’s is a leading packer of potatoes, onions and other produce, for our own suite of brands, but also for private label providers. Our innovative packing facility provides flexibility in packaging sizes, materials and weights, and is closely monitored to ensure compliance with our stringent quality control standards. Within the facility you can find:

We’re practicing what we preach when it comes to sustainable practices.
First and foremost, we’re farmers and we have been for four generations. The Bushman family understands the significance of the land to our business, and to everyone who might be influenced by healthy soil and sustainable agricultural practices. Quite frankly, if we don’t protect our land, our business will be in jeopardy. So here are some of the steps we take to be sustainable stewards:
Handle with care, that’s the Bushman’s transportation motto.
When you spend as much time as we do planting, growing, harvesting, storing and packing our produce products, you certainly don’t want to cut any corners when it comes to shipping. And we don’t. Our Transportation Department has been living by our motto for decades and it’s not going to change for decades to come.
