  1. Taylor Farms® Provides Fresh Produce to World Food Championships

    Taylor Farms and Sandwich America served as presenting sponsors of the World Food Championships Sandwich Competition, a high stakes food competition hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together, we proudly provided a field of world-class competitors with fresh produce to multiple competitions during the event. The structured build of the World Sandwich Championship was a twist on the classic BLT, inspired by one of OUR most popular crops, Kale. (#KaleYa)

    Competitors all created their version of a Bacon, KALE, and Tomato Sandwich at this year’s sandwich competition. Kelli Fairchild-Cochran took home the top honors and a hefty $10,000 for her winning creation of the “Mexican Street Sandwich”. Kelli qualified for the World Food Championships in a sandwich contest co-sponsored by Taylor Farms and Sandwich America and we were proud to have her represent us in this years contest.

  2. Salinas Valley Marathon

    Team Taylor had an astonishing 44 runners in this year’s Salinas Valley Marathon and two dozen volunteers! This 13.1 mile destination race began at the historic Soledad Mission and gently winded north alongside the base of the Santa Lucia mountains. Runners passed through wineries, vineyards and fields of row crops before crossing an idyllic finish line at Pessagno Winery.

    After the marathon, SVHM hosted their annual “Finish Festival” which featured a live band, wine and a BBQ for all participants. Taylor Farms had a booth on display during the finish festival, where employee volunteers handed out an assortment of our wildly popular snack trays; (list with hyperlinks to website product page).

    Taylor Farms is a founding sponsor of the marathon, whose focus is to promote the Salinas area in a healthy and positive way.

  4. Eat Together – Because So Much Good Happens When We Do!

    Even though we live in an increasingly connected world, research shows that people are actually eating alone more often than not, missing out on the many benefits that come with the simple act of sharing a meal. We grow up eating together and it brings so much joy, why do we stop?

    Today we joined the movement spearheaded by our partner President’s Choice® and hosted a breakfast encouraging our employees to put down their phones, enjoy good company and conversation away from their screens, and simply #EatTogether.

    We are totally behind this idea to encourage people to eat together – because so much good happens when we do – and we will work to extend this movement beyond just today.
