We talk with Zak Karlen, general manager of farms for Bolthouse Farms, known for carrots. The 2,400 employees grow, process, package and market fresh carrots, value-added versions and CPG. Consumer Packaged Goods include buzzworthy carrots dogs, Bolthouse Farms juices, smoothies and jolt shots that act as immunity boosters, and carrot noodle kits for quick carrot-centic meals.

We talk about how the company has adapted to pandemic health and supply chain issues, including labor availability, freight, prices, weather and more.

Also, hear from our sponsor Potatoes USA, providing some merchandising data and insight into the fresh potato industry. 

Enjoy!
