Vendor's own Our Story page states Cavendish Farms is part of the J.D. Irving, Limited group of companies, a privately held Irving family business founded 1882. Wikipedia corroborates it as a private Canadian company owned by the Irving family, but that is a directory-tier source so confidence stays at reported; no Corporations Canada or provincial registry filing was checked.

Vendor describes growing regions in PEI, Lethbridge AB and Wheatley ON as the source of potatoes and vegetables for those plants, with about 80 PEI farmers under contract. Wikipedia notes a 2017 shortfall led the company to import potatoes from New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta and Maine; the Jamestown, ND plant runs on North Dakota-grown potatoes. Mix follows the Canadian-heavy manufacturing footprint with a US share for Jamestown and occasional Maine imports.
