Elvin Huntsinger started Huntsinger Farms, Inc. in 1921. The family farm is currently being operated by his daughter, Ruth Terwilliger; son-in law, Alan Terwilliger; and his three grandsons: John, Stephen, and Neil Terwilliger. Elvin was an innovator in the field of potato growing and packing. He was one of the first to pack potatoes in poly bags in the late 1950’s.

Huntsinger Farms is located in Hegins, Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, we currently grow 80 acres of red, white, and golden potato varieties. We also produce potatoes in the fertile muck land around Sodus, New York. We plant, grow, harvest, store, sort, and pack potatoes differently than most American potato operations. We have adopted technology from European agricultural practices which maximize the quality of our finished product.

Mission Statement: To provide the consumer a safe and high quality potato product by utilizing sound agricultural and business practices.
