RPE is now the exclusive marketer of Agri-Pack’s onion and potato crops. RPE is a year-round grower-shipper of onions and potatoes based in Bancroft, Wisconsin.
Agri-Pack, a Pasco, Washington-based grower-packer-distributor of onions and potatoes, was acquired by CSS Farms, a multi-state grower of onions and chip and specialty potatoes, last year. CSS Farms and RPE have worked together since 2010 as joint venture partners in Tasteful Selections, a line of products in the bite-size potatoes category.
RPE managers expect Agri-Pack to be the cornerstone of an expanding onion program supplying food service companies, restaurants, retailers and others servicing and selling directly to consumers.
