Black Gold Farms

Black Gold is a global production, sales and service operation, specializing in potatoes. A leading supplier of chip potatoes, the company is internationally known for its innovative technology in potato production and handling. A multi-generation, family owned organization firmly planted in North Dakota’s Red River Valley more than 80 years ago, Black Gold has evolved into a global potato production, sales and service company and industry leader. We are the nation’s largest supplier of chip potatoes. Sustainability is a time-honored tradition at Black Gold—we have been supporting its basic tenets since Hallie Halverson planted his first crop of potatoes on the home farm near Forest River, N.D., in 1928.
