Cavendish Farms' History: 25 Years of Quality
- 1980: C.M. MacLean's plant in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), Canada was purchased by the Irving Group. A contest was run to give a new name to the company now being operated by the Irving's. The winning entry was "Cavendish Farms."
- 1994: Cavendish Farms moved away from processing frozen vegetables to concentrate on frozen potato products with a vision of becoming "The Potato Specialists."
- 1996: A second processing facility on P.E.I. was constructed, doubling processing capacity.
- 2001: The purchase of a new potato processing plant in North Dakota made Cavendish Farms the fourth largest frozen potato processor in North America.
- 2002: Cavendish Farms launched a revolutionary product innovation, Always CrispTM, a patented battered product that retains heat longer, resists moisture and takes just 20 seconds to reheat in a home microwave if needed, without losing taste or crispness.
- 2005: Cavendish Farms is taking the lead in meeting consumer demand for healthier products. With a push for "no trans fats", we are making it our mission this year to switch the production of all of our products over to non-hydrogenated oils, thereby eliminating the trans fat, and providing the consumers with a healthier alternative.
2005: Cavendish Farms Today: 25th Anniversary!! It has been 25 years since our inception, and while Cavendish Farms has grown, we have not forgotten our roots.
Guided by our vision and values, we are focused on continuing to grow and offer quality froen potato products and services. With 3 plants producing over 1 billion pounds of product per year, Cavendish Farms has grown from a local producer and distributor to a contender on a global scale.
