Ridge Spring, SC – Industry leaders 4Earth Farms BB #:148899 and Titan Farms BB #:175539 announce that they have joined forces with a shared vision to develop South Carolina as a strategic hub for the North American produce industry and promote farming and supply in the Southeast.
This facility in Ridge Spring, South Carolina, will be a year-round supply destination, offering FOB and delivered programs.
“This is a project that has been years in the making,” said David Lake, President of
California-based 4Earth Farms. “Expanding our packing and shipping capability will immediately benefit our existing East Coast customers. This expansion will allow us to provide even fresher produce while being more competitive and expand our customer base by being more convenient to those retailers, we have difficulty servicing due to the distance of our West Coast location”.
“We are very excited about how this new collaboration creates economies of scale for both Titan
Farms and 4Earth, said Chalmers Carr III, C.E.O of Titan Farms. “While the infrastructure, investment, and expansion have just begun, we look forward to how it will benefit our local workers, community, and customers.”
The new facility started production in time for the Thanksgiving holiday and will ramp up in 2023 to include 4Earth Farms top value-added commodities.
