It’s always nice to get recognized. It’s even nicer when the recognition comes from your peers in your community! Back in November, the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce started taking nominations for its 94th Annual Chamber Awards Gala, with the nomination deadline being December 20th. While the partners were attending the annual National Potato Convention […]
We’ve finally made it to December. The driveway to Gold Dust’s packing shed is lined up with trucks, while our shed crews work hard to get them loaded with chipping potatoes and on their way. Yes, it’s busy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a little time during the holiday season to have a […]
A little over a month after beginning, potato harvest comes to an end.
From the fields to the sheds, Gold Dust and Walker Brothers are buzzing. It’s time to harvest the potatoes and grain!
It’s been an odd spring. With that said, the only thing that’s consistent in the Klamath Basin is the fact the weather and seasons are never consistent.

Consumers are becoming more concerned about what they eat, and more and more they’re dropping organic items in their grocery carts. As farmers, we’ve noticed this trend for years, hence adding organic hay […]
The summer sun and the click-clacking of sprinklers in the fields make July one of the greenest months in the Klamath Basin – despite the lack of precipitation.
