Today, Eagle Eye Produce ships over 1 billion pounds of premium, fresh produce to their customers, annually. Newman’s wife thought he might be having a midlife crisis, but he insisted it was to take care of his customers. He has even jumped in them, himself, to deliver his products. So from the very beginning, Newman started buying trucks to haul as much of his own products as he could. At one time Newman and his partners were limited to growing potatoes in Idaho, alone, and now they grow and produce in 10 different states and three different countries.Įagle Eye Produce had mastered the production aspect, which uncovered another important necessity getting the produce to the customer when they needed it in the best conditions possible. Newman along with his partners, have continued to parallel this strategy by building, producing, and growing a year-round onion, watermelon, table grape, and Nogales vegetable program. Eagle Eye has now become one of the leading grower/shippers of fresh conventional and organic potatoes and has one of the most technologically advanced potato warehouses in the United States. Everything became customizable, which allowed Eagle Eye Produce to make potatoes more affordable for customers, while maximizing the return for growers. Using cutting edge technologies, automated graders, baggers, scales, palletizing robots, climate controllers, etc., an old fashioned potato shed was transformed into a highly efficient potato packing machine that could serve two masters Eagle Eye Produce customers and growers. What transpired next would not only raise the bar, it would change the potato industry forever. Within a year and a half of Eagle Farms being created, the new warehouse shut down to undergo a serious overhaul. So, Eagle Farms began expanding it’s network of growers and creating new partnerships with only those known for their quality potatoes. If they could control their own supply, and design a potato packing plant the way Newman had envisioned, then filling the day-to-day orders requested by customers would be a much easier task to accomplish. It didn’t take long to realize that a greater supply was needed in order to maintain customer satisfaction. After listening to the requests of their customers and continually running into obstacles surrounding specialized handling being requested of them, Eagle Eye purchased their first Warehouse in Idaho Falls, ID. To provide Eagle Eye’s customers with their ever-increasing need for premium produce, Newman knew the company had to evolve and become more than just a distributor of fresh produce. In the early 2000’s, Eagle Eye Produce began investing in the dirt and as a result Eagle Farms was born.
