Taylor Fresh Foods (known colloquially as Taylor Farms) is an American-based producer of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. It is based in Salinas, California. Taylor Farms[2] was founded by former Fresh Express (now Chiquita) founder and CEO Bruce Taylor in 1995. As of 2009, Taylor Farms was ranked as the world's largest salad and fresh-cut vegetable processor.[3] The company distributes their produce through third parties such as Golden State Foods to several California school districts and chain restaurants, such as McDonald's and Chipotle Mexican Grill.[4]
