COMPANY INFO...

The Agristar Inc. group of companies has been serving the food industry from Alberta, Canada since 1965.

Since this time, Agristar has expanded its operations and now includes a potato dehydration facility at Vauxhall, Alberta, and a fresh pack potato operation at Vauxhall, Alberta.

 

Agristar Inc. is a privately owned Canadian company with head offices located in Calgary, Alberta.  Founded in 1965, Agristar has long-standing relationships with more than 40 potato growers, and an established list of customers around the globe.  Our stringent quality standards and steadfast research and development practices allow us to provide both fresh and dehydrated potatoes of the utmost quality.

Over the past 40 years, Agristar has grown from being a local potato operation to a multi-location entity which dominates the fresh pack potato industry and the dehydrated potato industry in Western Canada. From the grower to the consumer's table, Agristar's commitment to fairness, service and quality has made Agristar Inc. the company that stands for excellence and dependability in the food industry.

We source our potatoes from prime farmland in southeastern Alberta, Canada.  The area’s high altitude, long and warm summer days, cool nights, ideal soil composition and abundant water supply (provided by state-of-the-art irrigation systems) consistently produces top quality potatoes.

Agristar’s mission is to provide the best potato products that nature has to offer.

Our fresh pack potato operation is capable of packaging 60,000 tons of potatoes per year for the retail and food service markets. In addition to growing our own potatoes, Agristar contracts potatoes in three provinces and two states to ensure a source of high quality potatoes year-round.

 

Our dehydrated potato operation is capable of producing  eight million pounds of dehydrated potatoes per year.  Agristar potato granules are made using the Add-Back method – a gentle dehydration process that breaks fresh cooked potatoes down to individual cells.  Our granules are characterized by a consistent fine texture.  By utilizing Add-Back technology, we are able to keep the wall of each potato cell intact, which in turn keeps the amount of free-starch very low.  Agristar potato granules never produce the “gluey” consistency common to other types of potato products such as flakes and flour.

While Agristar might be a new name to some of our customers, our organization is 40 years old. Our roots go back to a group of potato growers in the Vauxhall area who expanded into potato and vegetable packing, processing and farm services. We have now grown to include operations in Western Canada and the United States. We supply markets throughout the world.

Changes in our ownership, size and markets have led us to change our name but we're still growers, packers and processors. Our legacy of partnership with select growers continues. Our promise of quality, service and integrity from farm to consumer remains. Our commitment has made Agristar’s products the standard for excellence and dependability.
