Donating 10 million pounds per year to California food banks.

If you're fond of sweet potatoes, there's a good chance you've tried some from A.V. Thomas Produce. Located in Atwater, Calif., A.V. Thomas Produce is one of America's leading sweet potato suppliers and the largest on the west coast. We are fortunate to call them a longtime donor of the California Association of Food Banks' Farm to Family food recovery program. Over the past 15+ years, AV Thomas has donated millions of pounds of sweet potatoes to Farm to Family.

Like you, AV Thomas is one of our Farm to Family donors that we, our food banks, and millions of Californians have come to rely on for farm-fresh produce. Thank you your partnership and for supporting our mission to end hunger in California.

During a visit in June, we talked with Jeremy Fookes, Director of Sales, about sweet potatoes' need for sandy soil, why A.V. Thomas Produce donates to Farm to Family, and the perfect sweet potato preparation.
