Brand: Cavendish Farms

Cavendish Farms, a leading Canadian producer of frozen potato products and other frozen foods, was established in 1980 in New Annan, Prince Edward Island, by the Irving family, one of Canada’s most prominent business families. The company was founded to leverage the fertile farmland of PEI, known for its high-quality potatoes, and to create value-added food products for both domestic and international markets. Cavendish Farms quickly became a major player in the frozen food industry, producing a wide range of products, including french fries, hash browns, and appetizers, which are sold in grocery stores and served in restaurants across North America.

Over the years, Cavendish Farms has grown into one of Canada’s largest food processors, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and supporting local agriculture. The company sources its potatoes primarily from PEI farmers, contributing significantly to the island’s economy. Cavendish Farms has also expanded its product line to include frozen vegetables, plant-based options, and other convenience foods, catering to evolving consumer preferences. Despite its growth, the company remains deeply rooted in its Canadian heritage, with its headquarters and production facilities still based in PEI. As a proudly Canadian brand, Cavendish Farms continues to be a trusted name in frozen foods, celebrated for its dedication to quality and its role in supporting Canadian farmers.
