🌱➡️ Our Farms of the Future are key to how we are supporting the transition to #RegenerativeAgriculture — here, we trial and test practices so that we can scale them across geographies & showcase best practices in sustainable farming to our grower partners. 🌷 Things have been busy on the farm this spring! Farmers have been preparing for planting by selecting and purchasing potato seeds and maintaining #SoilHealth. #CoverCrops planted in the fall and winter reduce the need for extensive soil disturbance. We also deploy #ControlTrafficFarming – a system of permanent wheel tracks across fields that reduce soil compaction and damage from machines. 🥔💛 Stay tuned as we continue to highlight a year in the life of a regenerative farm! Planting season – here we come! #WeAreMcCain

I was thrilled to welcome President Emmanuel Macron at our McCain Foods production site in #Matougues, #France today. In his presence, we announced plans for a €350 million investment towards bolstering our production capabilities and strengthening our commitment to the French and European market. This significant investment will be distributed across our three production sites in #Harnes, #Béthune, and #Matougues, demonstrating our long-term vision for growth and sustainability in France. This will drive a 25% increase in production capacity, ensuring we can continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers and consumers. It was an honour for me to show President Macron our production site and explain how our plan will include state-of-the-art upgrades to our facilities—with a strong focus on #Sustainability and #OperationalExcellence. At McCain, we're not just investing in infrastructure; we're investing in the future of food production. From reducing CO2 emissions to optimizing water usage, we're committed to minimizing our environmental footprint while maximizing efficiency. From our 800 partner farmers to our dedicated team members and loyal customers, every stakeholder in the McCain family stands to benefit from this initiative. Together, we're building a stronger, more resilient future for French #agriculture and #FoodManufacturing. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved in France over the past 40 years, and I'm even more excited about what lies ahead. 🥔 #ChooseFrance #MakeItIconic #WeAreMcCain

Over 120 of our #manufacturing and #business leaders recently gathered for our Annual Plant Manager Conference in Ghent, Belgium. I was astounded by the remarkable strides we’ve made on crucial metrics such as safety, quality, overall equipment effectiveness and engagement. This is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our journey from good to exceptional! The enthusiasm and dedication of our team members heighten my anticipation for the McCain Foods we are building. Thank you to the event organization team for putting together such a powerful week for our teams. #WeAreMcCain

Today is #McHappyDay 💛➡️ McCain and Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada have a long and storied relationship—we have been volunteering and supporting RMHC for over 30 years. This special connection has touched some of our own McCainers—like Amanda Welsh, who has both volunteered with McCain at Ronald McDonald House Charities Manitoba and stayed, when her daughter Daphne required open-heart surgery. Find out more about Amanda’s story, below. #McHappyDay #WeAreMcCain

This week we celebrated the official grand opening of GoodLeaf Farms' new #Calgary location. 🌱 This state-of-the-art facility is Canada’s largest indoor vertical farm, not only creating over 100 jobs in the region but also producing an impressive two million pounds of leafy greens annually for consumers in the Prairies and western provinces. At McCain Foods, we're thrilled to play a part in supporting GoodLeaf in establishing a national network of sustainable vertical farms. Our investment reflects our commitment to bringing fresh, nutritious, and delicious locally grown food to Canadians from coast to coast. 🥬 #WeAreMcCain

Help us celebrate 18,000 trees planted throughout #Wisconsin and in the local #Plover community! 🌳 We pledged to reinstate and increase the number of trees that were impacted by our plant expansion project—proud to share that we added three times the number of trees we had to clear in Plover, beautifying the community while increasing #sustainability. We're proud to continue our work to foster thriving communities around the world and here in Plover. 💛 #WeAreMcCain
2 days ago, I had the pleasure to join the Appetizer Leadership Team in Plover, Wisconsin for a tree planting adventure! 18,000 trees to be exact! These reforestation efforts are part of a commitment McCain made when building the new Plover appetizer line. We donated 6,400 trees to our growers, 800 to local elementary schools, 10,000 to the Wisconsin Tree Conservancy and 800 to our employees. Thank you to Alsum Farms for allowing us to plant trees on your land and also for helping us plant them - this was a first for many of us! 😄 #planetfriendly #trysomethingnew !
