Titan Farms to Maximize Shelf Life and Enhance Freshness on Peaches

Ridge Spring, South Carolina – Titan Farms BB #:175539 announced a new partnership with Verdant Technologies to bring the revolutionary post-harvest solution, HarvestHold Fresh, to the peach industry.

With more than 6,000 acres, Titan Farms is the country’s second-largest vertically integrated peach operation. Through rigorous testing, the company plans to utilize HarvestHold Fresh to extend the quality, freshness, and flavor of their peaches from harvest to consumption.

“We are committed to innovation and providing the highest quality products to our customers,” said Chalmers Carr, owner, president, and CEO of Titan Farms. “I am thrilled to work with Verdant Technologies BB #:377032 to bring their HarvestHold Fresh solution to Titan Farms. This partnership will enable us to increase the shelf life and freshness of our peaches to customers while reducing waste throughout the supply chain.”

Titan Farms has worked closely with Verdant Technologies over the last two years, conducting large-scale trials to demonstrate the benefits of HarvestHold Fresh on peaches. Through their collaborative research, the company saw significant results in less fruit pressure drop in storage and transit between the control and treated groups, regardless of variety.

“Working together with Titan Farms, we’re helping set the bar for freshness and simplicity,” said Gordon Robertson, CEO of Verdant Technologies. “Titan Farms is an industry leader and we are honored to partner with them to help deliver high-quality peaches. This collaboration will have lasting effects on reducing shrink at retail and providing consumers with an improved peach eating experience. We are proud to be part of this effort and look forward to seeing the positive impacts this partnership will have throughout the industry.”

Throughout its entire operation, from the orchards to the pack house, Titan Farms ensures its peaches are grown, harvested, and packed in the best possible conditions. Now, with the recent implementation of HarvestHold Fresh, Titan Farms will extend the firmness and quality of their peaches, giving the consumer a better experience.
