Originally founded in 1945, by Henry A. Pollak, primarily selling fertilizer to Long Island's potato growers. This lead into the purchasing, packing and selling of finished crops, for fresh consumption. The potato operations quickly expanded into Maine, Canada and eventually networked into all major potato growing regions in the United States. Our Company philosophy today remains the same, built on quality, trust, relationships and integrity. Throughout the years guided by third generation Visionary and C.E.O. Andrew M.
