Owyhee Produce has started its 2024 onion harvest and is shipping out of its Parma, Idaho, location.
“We have significantly increased our onion acreage and are hopeful for the outcome of the season even with Mother Nature’s curveballs,” said Bailey Myers-Hartley, marketing director for Owyhee Produce.
The company is a third-generation onion grower-shipper-packer and is offering peeled onions as well, she said.
“We strive to make a difference in every step of the process that leaves our customers and consumers knowing there’s a difference with Owyhee Produce,” Myers-Hartley said. “We have been farming for 70 years this year and are proud to carry on many of the same traditions Grandpa Owen taught us. With this being 70th anniversary of the farm, we are celebrating the milestone and doing our best to plan for the next 70 years.”
Owyhee Produce can provide customizable packaging including sticker onions, 3-pound, 5-pound options and more, Myers-Hartley said.
“We have some elite packs coming available that will help promote Idaho eastern Oregon onions and are looking forward to the upcoming food shows and events,” she said.
Owyhee Produce has added three new sales team members: Bryan Hewett, Melissa Anderson and Brian Foster, she said. Hewett comes to the company from the foodservice broadliner world with more than 25 years of sales experience and is a trained chef.
