Plant Grow Harvest’s New Potato Brands Reshape US Market

Tasty Little Digs and Big! Digs officially debuted at IFPA 2025. Tasty Little Digs packs sell at $2.99–$3.99 each at retailers like Fresh Thyme. Market feedback shows a 4% price uptick for fresh baby potatoes versus last month in Midwest US. Retailers now access a clear brand lineup, reducing confusion and boosting shelf impact.

Plant Grow Harvest's new breeding program supports extended supply, with year-round access for nine out of twelve months. Multi-regional farms reduce seasonal risks. This expansion means fresher stock, shorter storage periods, and less loss from rot or bruising. 2025’s potato production, at 50 million pounds, allows robust winter inventory. Cohesive branding gives supply chain partners, from growers to retailers, simpler inventory management.

Strong shopper response to Tasty Little Digs packaging and convenience boosts demand. New Big! Digs brand clarifies the value of traditional varieties, increasing bulk sales. Retailers see improved category clarity, driving repeat purchases in early market data. Family purchase rates and prepared foods trends both climb as consumer preference shifts to easy-to-cook and flavor-focused potatoes.
