Taylor Farms celebrates the release of its latest impact report
Leading North American salad and healthy fresh foods producer Taylor Farms published its latest impact report, highlighting initiatives involving the company’s products, processes, people, and community engagement. The report features efforts to promote healthy lifestyles in customers, employees, and communities.
Among the report’s main announcements are Taylor Farms’ advancements towards more sustainable packaging. Recent efforts include switching rigid plastic lids to lidding film, as well as favoring fiber and compostables. In 2024, Earthbound Farm, a Taylor Farms brand, released a plant-based fiber tray that won Inc.’s Best in Business Award for Sustainability and the IFPA’s Science and Technology Circle of Excellence Award.
The company continues to invest in data-driven methods, showing its commitment to food safety. Advanced pathogen testing, state-of-the-art equipment, and continuous monitoring help strive to keep every product not only fresh, but also safe.
The first phase of microgrid installation at Taylor Farms’ San Juan Bautista plant has been completed. This is the first facility in its network and will utilize solar panels, fuel cells, and battery storage to power the facility without electricity from the grid.
Finally, the impact report stated the company is proud to partner with The Farmlink Project, Brighter Bites, and Eat Real, among other local food banks and charitable partners. Taylor Farms provides 9.7 million pounds of fresh food annually to communities nationwide.
Bruce Taylor, Chairman and CEO at Taylor Farms, said the report reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to feeding consumers and striving to protect the land and people who support it.
“After 30 years, we remain deeply rooted in making nutritious and fresh foods more accessible to the public while being good stewards of our resources, managing them in a way that’s safe, intentional, and sustainable,” he says.
“This Impact Report offers a glimpse into the heart of Taylor Farms as a company and how we're striving to make a positive difference,” said Wyatt Maysey, Director of Sustainability.
