NYSSA – There is a new onion packing facility on Idaho Street in Nyssa but the workers under its roof are part of a long-time local business.
Snake River Produce Co. began this onion season with a new $4 million facility.
“It’s pretty exciting and we are very satisfied,” said Kay Riley, Snake River Produce general manager. “We have a vision of what we are capable of and it was time to upgrade the technology.”
Construction on the new building began in May 2017 and while a few small items remain to be done, the majority of the facility is finished, said Riley.
