Sunny Valley Farms, Inc

Description

Sunny Valley Farms, Incorporated is a family owned and operated farm specializing in growing Colorado Certified seed potatoes. SVF is located in Colorado's San Luis Valley, which is one of the largest and highest alpine valleys in the world. The San Luis Valley is well known for its low incidence of potato pests and diseases. This "high altitude advantage" in seed potato vigor is assured, since the Valley floor is at 7600 feet above sea level. Sunny Valley Farms, Incorporated has been in operation since 1948, when Craig and Irene Harney began growing seed potatoes in Colorado's San Luis Valley. Since then, the farm has expanded to 1600 acres, and has remained on the forefront of new developments in agricultural practices and farm management. The farm is currently owned by Craig's grandson, Ernest Ford. Ernest Ford received his degree in Soil Science from the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo in 1998 (see related link). For the past three decades, Sunny Valley Farms, Incorporated has enjoyed a fine reputation as a quality seed potato producing company due to the stewardship of Vickie and her late husband, David Ford.
