Our Story | Eagle Eye Produce
Est. 1996 · Idaho Falls, Idaho

From Roots
to Routes.

Three decades ago we started in a laundry room in Roberts, Idaho. Today we grow, pack and ship over a billion pounds of fresh produce a year, on our own trucks, as our own grower, packer and shipper. Every pound still travels the same path, from the ground we farm to the table you serve.

Our Story

From a Laundry Room to a Fully Integrated Produce Company

Established in 1996, Eagle Eye Produce came from humble beginnings in Roberts, Idaho, a little farming community in Eastern Idaho where Newman set up his first office in the laundry room of their home. He had already spent years in the produce industry as a grower, shipper, distributor and broker, and had built a reputation as one of the sharpest produce inspectors in the field. But working for other companies made it hard to hold onto the values he cared about most.

So he started his own company, naming it after the vision that had carried him there: Eagle Eye Produce. The freedom to control his own quality, pricing and relationships let him build a business on honesty, integrity and quality service. Those are the same principles that guide every load that leaves our docks today.

Innovation

A smarter kind of produce supplier.

We keep investing in the technology that makes fresh produce faster, safer and easier to track, from the field to the final mile.

Automated Packing

Automated graders, baggers, scales and palletizing robots run our packing facilities around the clock, cutting errors and keeping pack sizes consistent.

AI Sorting and Grading

AI driven cameras and robotic arms grade, sort and cull produce at high speed. Optical sorting technology scans both external appearance and internal quality, catching defects the human eye would miss.

Climate Controlled Storage

Multi zone climate control keeps potatoes, onions and vegetables at the right temperature from the moment they are packed until the moment they ship.

Digital Traceability

Every load is tracked from Roots to Routes. Our partnership with Heavy Connect digitizes food safety, traceability and quality assurance documentation across the supply chain.

Also driving efficiency and sustainability at every stage: drip and pivot irrigation, regenerative growing practices, solar and LED energy upgrades, and packaging with recycled content.

Food Safety and Compliance

Trust, verified at every step.

Food safety is not a checkbox for us. It is independently audited, certified and documented at every stage of the supply chain.

60+ Independent audits performed annually across our fields and facilities
  • PrimusGFS Certified, meeting GFSI standards
