Fun fact: Did you know we host Potato 101? What is Potato 101, you may ask? This is a chance for employees to learn everything they need to know about potatoes and how our foods are made from farm-to-table. The latest group that attended Potato 101 even got to experience this year's harvest! #BAF #Potatoes #Potato101

About us
Jack Hume founded Basic American Foods in 1933 with the belief that integrity and taste were paramount, and it’s these same beliefs that drive us today. While we started as a modest dehydration plant in California, we’ve grown our company and our capabilities over the last 85 years becoming the market leader, because we want to help people serve great food to as many people as possible. That’s why you’ll find our foods and brands in restaurants, schools, hospitals, grocery, and club stores around the world.

Let's celebrate #InternationalChefsDay!👩🍳This year's campaign is "Growing Great Chefs" to help inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for cooking among children from all walks of life. To honor this holiday, we asked our chefs to share what inspired them to become a chef in hopes of inspiring someone else! We loved hearing from both of our chefs and especially how family played such an integral role in shaping their futures. #BAF #Culinary #Chefs #GrowingGreatChefs

Meet Paul Rockwell CEC, CFS, Corporate Chef at Basic American Foods! 👋 Chef Paul started his career in restaurants throughout the Southeast before he transitioned to food manufacturing where he spent the past 15 years. He is not only a certified executive chef with the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and a certified food scientist with the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), but he also has an undergraduate degree in Business and a Master's degree in Food Technology. Chef Paul loves the endless possibilities potatoes offer in the kitchen as well as the versatility of beans. His love of cooking comes only second to watching his son play college lacrosse. #BAF #Culinary #Potatoes #Beans
