Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc.
A producer of frozen potato products, from French fries served in restaurants and fast-food chains to appetizers and ingredients sold in dozens of countries under brands like Lamb Weston and Grown in Idaho. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with the animal — it honors founder Gib Lamb and the town of Weston, Oregon, where his father launched a fruit-packing business in 1932. Fun fact: the founder invented the water gun knife in 1960, blasting whole potatoes through blades with a high-pressure water stream to cut fries in a flash.
