Paul, Beth, Rachael, and I ate at Wheat Montana this morning for breakfast. I had a 7 grain warm cereal and it was delicious! They are a local deli/bakery that is "Made in Montana". Then we drove out to the Tobacco Root Mountains to take a tour of a potato farm/manufacturing plant. It is called Bausch Potatoes. Mark, the 3rd generation owner, not only farms the potatoes and is the head mechanic, but also runs the storage and manufacturing of the potatoes once they're harvested. Vertical integration was neat to see first-hand. I never knew that to grow a potato you just have to plant a slice of potato with a spud on it ("seed potato"). The ones from the grocery store are treated so that they don't sprout, but an organic potato would probably do the trick. They produce french fries and hashbrowns, which we use at MSU. I got to see them make hashbrowns... it was really my potato heaven there.
The rest of the afternoon Rachael and I planned and set-up a salad dressing cutting between the 60 gallons of dressing that we have in the walk-in cooler. We are getting everyone's input on their preference of taste profiles. Everyone gave us some pretty good feedback so hopefully we can make a decision later tonight.
