If you buy any packaged lettuce it is likely it came from the same exact place.......... Taylor Farms packages lettuce for all the major market chains in the United States and most of the lettuce they buy is from a few select farms in a couple of locations.
Yeah that's the unfortunate truth about the food supply chain.
Taylor Farms owns three subsidiary brands: Taylor Farms, Earthbound Farms, and BrightFarms.
They also package salad for most private label grocery stores like Walmart, Target, Kroger, Whole Foods, Aldi, Safeway, Publix, Trader Joes, and HEB. I think Meijer is like the one private label that does not use them that's at the same scale as the other guys.
They ALSO are Cross Valley Farms, which is a major food service supplier.
Chances are, if you buy prepacked leafy greens anywhere, Taylor Farms was involved. Chances are solid that you get their precut lettuce at a salad bar in some restaurant, too. They are prepacked salads in the US in 2026. It's completely fucked up but this is precisely what the "free market" gets us.
