Locally owned and operated in Waterford, PA, Troyer Farms is proud to be the Official Snack Food Provider of Family First Sports Park. They offer a wide variety of products such as potato chips, popcorn, tortilla chips, pretzels, cheese twists and corn puffs...and quality goes into every bag. Troyer Farms chips (or any other Troyer product) contain no preservatives: they are simply prime potatoes picked at their flavor peak, thinly sliced, cooked in pure vegetable oil and lightly salted just enough to complement their delicate potato goodness. And Troyer Farms is the only U.S. manufacturer of potato chips that grows its own potatoes. As a result, they can legitimately claim to produce the freshest chip in the country – and most of those products are on store shelves the day after being made. Troyer Farms is proud to be the Official Presenting Sponsor of the annual Christmas Crunch Classic Soccer and Basketball Tournament as well as other major events and tournaments that take place at the Park each year.
