Gumz Farms in Endeavor, WI, is undertaking a large expansion and remodel of its packaging facility to better serve its customers and meet growing demand.
The company hopes to have the expansion completed for fall of 2023, according to a company release.
Gumz has seen an average increase of 10 percent in annual sales, the release said, noting that the expansion “will increase existing capacity by approximately 40 percent.”
It said the packing facility and sustainable growing practices “allows Gumz to provide high quality produce in a timely manner to its customers.”

Gumz Farms specializes in growing and packing potatoes and onions. Growing 40 percent of Wisconsin’s yellow onions and over 1,200 acres of potatoes, Gumz Farms is the largest producer of onions and red and yellow potatoes in the state.
