Our Produce

Our russet potatoes are grown at high elevation in the perfectly sustainable microclimate of the San Luis Valley of Colorado. As the snow melts in the surrounding mountains, it feeds the aquifer under the valley providing the irrigation for the potatoes to maintain the proper amount of moisture. The warm summer days and cool nights allow these special potatoes to flourish and grow until harvested at the peak of season. Known for their fluffy interior and unblemished skin, our San Luis Valley russets are the perfect complement to any meal.

Grown in the rich black volcanic soil of the Red River Valley located in North Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba, red potatoes are widely known for their rosy red skin and white waxy flesh. Manitoba is a Canadian province located just north of the North Dakota border. The province is well known for its red potatoes, which possess very good color and consistent quality year after year. Red potatoes stay moist, firm and flavorful during the cooking process and as a result are extremely versatile. Red potatoes are the perfect choice for roasting, boiling, or as a salad ingredient.

Yellow potatoes are very eye appealing, but they are not covered with eyes. Smooth, thin, eye-free, yellow-tinged flesh – these are all distinct characteristics of our yellow potatoes. Yellow potatoes have a buttery taste profile and are considered medium in starch – perfect for grilling, boiling or just mashing with russets for added flavor.

Our watermelons are grown in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. Available in early April though late September, we offer red seedless or red seeded watermelon. They’re juicy, full of flavor and possess a deep rich color consumers love. A summertime favorite, watermelon can make any regular meal a memorable occasion.

Let the chips fall where they may? Not with Schmieding Produce. When it comes to chip potatoes, we can have them exactly where you want them, when you want them. We have operations in all chip producing areas of the country, so we are able to provide quality chip potatoes fresh out of the ground to manufacturers throughout the US.

Our pumpkins are grown in the regions of west New Mexico and Colorado. The sandy soil in this area ensures our pumpkins are clean and unblemished. Known for their mature orange color and 2-to-4-inch stems, our Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins are perfect for carving or fall decorating.

Smash them, fry them, bake them – there’s no end to what you can do with the versatile potato. But if you’re in a hurry, instant potatoes are a deliciously quick fix. Manufacturers are constantly developing great-tasting products to help us all eat well in a time-crunched world. Schmieding takes pride in delivering top-notch processing potatoes to companies throughout the US that care about quality.

Our delicious sweet corn is grown in the fertile-rich soil of Arkansas, Missouri and Indiana. It is exceptional in the fact that it is hydro cooled and top iced to protect taste. So it’s delivered as fresh as the day it was picked. Our corn grade is U.S. Fancy. This grade is based primarily on maturity, freshness and cob length, as well as freedom from various injuries and decay. We always hand pick and pack in traditional wire bound crates or in RPCs (Returnable Plastic Containers).

Our top quality carrots are grown regionally throughout the year in Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. This allows us to provide a 12-month supply of peak season carrots with a local flair.

Sweet, mild or full of flavor – we have onions for all tastes. In the winter, we offer our customers onions from Idaho, Colorado and Oregon. In the summer, we source our onions from Texas and New Mexico. This allows us to provide our customers farm-fresh onions available year around.
