Value-Added Produce
January 22, 2021
Taylor Farms is our primary supplier for fresh-cut, value-added lettuces, salads, broccoli and cauliflower florets, celery and carrot sticks, sliced and diced vegetables, and more.
Now more than ever, we’re seeing an increase in demand for fresh-cut solutions. Our sales team recently participated in a virtual training session with Taylor Farms to take a deep dive into “Value-Added” or Fresh-Cut Produce.
The “Value” in Value-Added:
Stable Pricing: Compared to a commodity program where you ride up and down with the market, value-added offers stable pricing.
100% Yield: You know your exact yield. Case weights fluctuate, quality fluctuates– but value-added has 100% yield. Once again, offering you stable pricing down to your portion.
Reduced Labor Cost: Good help is hard to find, while value-added produce offers uniform cuts and doesn’t call in sick– many times it’s washed and ready-to-serve.
Food Safety: Our processors are vetted with stringent food safety procedures in place.
When you’re ready to cost out you next menu, contact your account manager regarding these convenient, cost-saving options.
