Basic American Foods

Jack Hume founded Basic American Foods in 1933 with the belief that integrity and taste were paramount, and these same beliefs drive us today. While we started as a modest dehydration plant in California, we’ve grown our company and our capabilities over the last 85 years, becoming the market leader, because we want to help people serve great food to as many people as possible. That’s why you’ll find our foods and brands in restaurants, schools, hospitals, and grocery and club stores around the world.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
