STATE OF ART PRODUCTION
Utilizing the latest agricultural technology, Quality Produce, LLC manages over 6,500 acres of plasticulture and traditional ground vegetable production. Plasticulture practices significantly reduce weed competition while improving plant health and yields, resulting in higher-quality vegetables with enhanced durability for shipping and extended shelf life.
A majority of the acreage is supported by advanced, computerized drip irrigation systems that deliver precise amounts of water and nutrients directly to the root zone. This method increases water-use efficiency by more than 80 percent while minimizing runoff and promoting sustainable farming practices.
Quality Produce, LLC oversees both the farming operations and one of the company’s packing facilities, producing more than 25 commodities annually. These include peppers, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, strawberries, as well as row crops such as peanuts and cotton.
The packing facility is equipped with two standard cooling units with a combined storage capacity of 850 pallets, or approximately 40,160 bushels—equivalent to more than 60 trailer loads of produce—along with a high-efficiency forced-air cooling system. These capabilities ensure rapid temperature management and preservation of product quality from field to market.
Quality Produce, LLC was among the first produce operations in Georgia to achieve certification under Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The company is also certified under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audit program, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the highest standards of food safety and quality assurance.
Together, Quality Produce, LLC and Spring Hill Produce, LLC operate packing and cooling facilities capable of serving customers ranging from large national supermarket chains to independent specialty markets. Packing lines include both place-pack and volume-fill systems, with the capacity to pack over 1,800 boxes of peppers or 900 boxes of cucumbers per hour. With these advanced capabilities in packing, cooling, and storage, customers can rely on Lewis Taylor Farms for consistent delivery of premium-quality produce.
