Taylor Farms Enters CEA Market with Pure Green Farms Investment

On Aug. 24, Taylor Farms announced it has entered the greenhouse growing market with an investment in Pure Green Farms.

This expansion into greenhouse-grown fresh offerings will complement Taylor Farms’ existing 122,200-crop-acre field grown program and 16 salad producing facilities across North America.

“We’re excited to venture into the industry of indoor growing with this investment,” Bruce Taylor, founder and CEO, Taylor Farms, said in a news release. “Our customer partners have asked for a national solution and this is our first step.”

Pure Green Farms’ already established facility located in South Bend, Indiana, is a climate-controlled environment equipped with high-tech machinery that grows, packs and ships leafy greens year-round. Pure Green Farms operates on a site that can potentially expand up to 300 acres. This operation produces greenhouse leafy green varieties in the most efficient automated greenhouse system.

“We are thrilled to work alongside an industry leading company like Taylor Farms,” said Joe McGuire, CEO Pure Green Farms. “We know this is just the beginning of a fantastic relationship with Taylor Farms and we’re looking forward to continuing to address the increasing demand for local product offerings.”

Taylor Farms is a leading North American producer of salads and healthy fresh foods. Taylor Farms is family owned and based in Salinas, California.
