What OREGON POTATO COMPANY does

Oregon Potato Company (OPC) is a privately held, family-owned food processing enterprise headquartered in Pasco, Washington, that produces frozen and dehydrated potatoes, vegetables, and fruits for foodservice, retail grocery, industrial food manufacturing, and export customers. Founded approximately 1980, the company has grown through acquisition into a multi-subsidiary platform — the "OPC Family of Companies" — comprising at least eleven operating entities including National Frozen Foods (operating since 1912), Flav-R-Pac, Norpac, Pasco Processing, Arbre Farms, Dickinson Frozen Foods, Freeze Pack, Gem State Processing, Rader Farms, Willamette Valley Fruit Company, and Jamba At Home.

OPC controls or leases over 140,000 irrigated acres across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Michigan, providing vertical integration from seed through finished product. Core processing technologies include Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) for vegetables and fruits, dehydration for potato flakes and flours, and dehydrofrozen processing for potatoes and onions, supplemented by custom seasoning, blending, and roasting capabilities at Pasco Processing. The "Seed to Fork" positioning is the company's primary quality assurance and supply chain narrative.

The business model is B2B and B2B2C, with revenue generated through one-time sales (not subscriptions) of bulk ingredients in 30-pound cases and 1,400-pound totes to industrial food manufacturers, foodservice distribution, and direct sales to retail grocers via branded consumer packaging. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is executed through dedicated enterprise field sales teams segmented by industrial/export, foodservice, foodservice national accounts, and retail channels, with the company also maintaining an executive-led industry presence via podcast and trade show activity. A notable recent event is a February 2026 FDA Class I recall of 55,689 pounds of IQF blueberries from subsidiary Willamette Valley Fruit Company due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
