"Our farmers are great storytellers. They have such a connection to their land and
to their families," says Triou. "It has been amazing to bring a videographer out to the
farms to capture and share the majesty of these all-the-way-to-the-horizon fields that
are completely in flower. Today's technology really affords us to the opportunity to melt
away the miles and bring consumers right into our farms."
Without that age-old, most invaluable form of communication—a good story and the
ability to tell it well—Triou knows that the "Grown Where It Matters" campaign may
very well have fallen flat on its face. But, she says, when it comes to both storytelling and
potato production, "My Network farmers have been doing it for generations."
