# Recurring Potatoes and Onions :potato:

## Background

We have two new produce contacts in the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to set up (4) recurring deals for next week by this Wednesday.

*Waiting on the following info from Ben:*
- Name of both farms
- Cost of onions
- How many onions fit on a truck?

## Core Details of the Deal

#### Bart Connors: Potato Contact
- Cleaned and packaged
- $100/ton ($1/20lb)
- This is a little more expensive than the potatoes from Anne, but Bart has virtually no limits on quantity we purchase (whereas Anne has restrictions on delivery in March)
- 10-lb bags
- Bart wants to set up recurring deals right away
- (Same operationally as Anne at Desert Ridge produce, but not organic)

#### Adam Jensen: Onion Contact
- *(Adam also has potatoes, but his are "seed potatoes," which are unwashed and unpackaged, so we are not buying these)*
- 50-lb bags of packaged, ready-to-go jumbo yellow onions

*We want to target (1) nearby food banks and (2) Western states with knowledge of food desert landscape in their area. Eventually, we'd like to also target Midwest states.*

## Must-have Information :bangbang:
- **Days accepting delivery**
- We want to get as many days as possible and as wide of time intervals as we can
- **Recurring? How often?**
- Setting up recurring deals will be logistically easier than having several sporadic deals.
- **Storage capacity of food bank**
- **Type of food they'll take**
- potatoes, onions, or both
- **Quantity they can take**
- It is preferable to take at least 1 full truckload (~25 pallets / 40,000lbs potatoes)

### Notes!
- Look up phone numbers on Google because some of the oens on the doc are wrong or old.
- Most of the OR/WA food banks already have potato/onion deals, so look in other states if possible!
