Taylor Farms, a produce manufacturing and distribution company, is growing its footprint in Maryland to meet growing customer demand for its healthy eating products.
The company, which has had a location in Maryland since 2004, is expanding its Annapolis Junction manufacturing operations and plans to add 150 new jobs in Howard County. Taylor Farms currently employs nearly 500 workers in Maryland.
“Taylor Farms Maryland’s mission is to be America’s favorite maker of salads and fresh foods. We strive to be a leader in innovation, service, quality, and food safety,” said Mike George, general manager of Taylor Farms. “We are excited about our current growth and look forward to continuing our future opportunities for growth in the mid-Atlantic and northeast U.S.”
Formed in 1995, Taylor Farms began as one facility with seven employees in Salinas Valley, California. Since then, the company has grown to operate 13 facilities across North America that produce seven billion servings of fresh vegetables annually, feeding more than 120 million Americans per week. The fresh produce manufacturer says they prepare every one in three salads consumed in the United States. The company is also focused on caring for its employees and recognizing their hard work through employee appreciation days, bonuses, and awards.
“Creating jobs and opportunities for our citizens by working with companies like Taylor Farms to help them expand will always be one of our top priorities,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Taylor Farms joins a number of companies that have recently chosen to add jobs in our state, highlighting our administration’s efforts to strengthen the economy and continue changing Maryland for the better.”
