Taylor Farms, which produces ready-to-eat salads and fresh foods across North America, recently celebrated the third anniversary of its Toronto facility.
The company says it opened the Toronto location to bring production closer to distribution centers in Eastern Canada, after feedback from its Canadian retail partners, adding that the move enhanced produce freshness, boosted product availability and strengthened ties with local Canadian growers.
Since it opened, Taylor Farms says it has invested more than $60 million into the 60,000-square-foot Toronto facility, establishing Taylor Fresh Canada Foods in 2022. Today the facility operates with more than 400 employees producing over 900,000 pounds of fresh, healthy foods for Canadian families each week.
“Our continued success with our Toronto facility is a direct reflection of our devoted team,” Kevin Silver, general manager of Taylor Fresh Canada, said in a news release. “This company milestone is a testament to their commitment to superior quality and continuous product innovation.”
The facility produces a wide range of leafy greens and vegetables, offering more than 100 organic and conventional products. Since investing in the Toronto facility, Taylor Farms Chopped Salads has been named the most-trusted salad kit brand in Canada by BrandSpark, with Taylor Farms Dill Pickle and Sweet Kale as its top-selling kit flavors in Canada, according to the company.
“We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this milestone with our talented Toronto team,” Mark Campion, president of Taylor Farms Retail, said in the release. “At Taylor Farms, we’re passionate about providing healthy, fresh foods to Canadian families. Congratulations to the entire team, and here’s to even more growth and collaboration with our retail partners and growers in the years ahead.”
