History

Black Gold Farms traces its roots to 1928 when A.E. Halverson planted the first 10 acres of potatoes that would grow into a major agricultural enterprise. The farm transitioned from a Black Angus cattle operation to a leading potato producer, adapting through generations while maintaining its commitment to the land and community. Today, the fifth generation of farmers is preparing to take the reins, continuing the family's long-term vision.
