California Sweet Potato Growers
Sweet Potato Joe!
Among the original founders was Joe Alvernaz, or as most know him “Sweet Potato Joe.” A true pioneer in the California sweetpotato industry.
Today, Cal Sweet is stewarded by Sweet Potato Joe’s grandson Matt Alvernaz and his wife Sarah Alvernaz. Together they are continuing the legacy Joe set out to create.
Our Roots Are Sweet!
California Sweet Potato Growers is a grower owned and operated sweetpotato packing facility located in the sandy soil of Livingston-Atwater, CA. The first sweetpotato cooperative in California, Cal Sweet was founded in 1963 by a group of growers with a dream of integrating their farms and bettering their business.
With great foresight, Cal Sweet was built near Highway 99, making it one of the most easily accessible packing sheds.
A Sweet Legacy!
California Sweet Potato Growers proudly represents multiple family farms and has a passion for providing the best sweetpotatoes available while offering premium service. From our employees to our customers, to our growers, Cal Sweet values the relationship it takes to be successful for generations.
