Gumz Farms is wrapping up a large expansion and remodel to its Endeavor, Wisconsin, packaging facility to better serve its customers and meet growing demand. To accommodate an average increase of 10 percent in annual sales, the expansion will increase existing capacity by approximately 40 percent. Gumz plans to complete the expansion this fall.
Owners Richard and Roderick Gumz are the fourth generation of Gumz farmers and are joined by a fifth generation, which has returned to the farm to continue building the family’s operation. 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 Wisconsin.
