Established in 1937, the Idaho® Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®"" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
Customers love Idaho® potatoes — so much that they ask for them by name. Idaho® potatoes far outscore other states' potatoes in customer preference and awareness.
For quality Idaho® potatoes, look for the GROWN IN IDAHO® seal and you'll know it's real.
