Over the past seven years, Titan Farms and Harris Teeter have continued to donate to the Peaches with a Purpose program. The sum of this year’s donation, equated to 37,800 pounds of peaches and was especially impactful to these communities.

“Seven years ago, we never would have imagined the impact Peaches with a Purpose could have on these communities,” says Lori Anne Carr, Vice President/Administrative Manager of Titan Farms. “Giving back and supporting local communities has always been important to us, and we are grateful we have been able to partner with Harris Teeter to help the food impoverished for so many years in a row.”

Titan Farms, the largest peach grower on the east coast, partnered with North Carolina-based retailer, Harris Teeter to create Peaches with a Purpose in order to help feed the underserved while bringing attention to the problem of food insecurity in the United States.
