Taylor Farms, Salinas. Food service salad production.
"Our story began in the Salinas Valley, affectionately called America's Salad Bowl. It was here, where Bruce Taylor followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and became the third generation to work in the fresh produce business.
In 1995, Bruce and several partners founded Taylor Fresh Foods. A new company with a new vision was born - to be North America’s favourite maker of salads and healthy fresh foods"

As someone who has attended four Under 40's visits in the past and enjoyed the camaraderie and togetherness of being with young people and seeing new friendships made which will last a life time, I am so pleased that The NexGen Fruit Group are not only continuing this experience, but taking it to a new level!
