Incumbents have an advantage, and so does Tanimura & Antle, thanks to an innovative spirit that goes back to the company’s origins, investment in its workforce and always looking forward. One way T&A tries to distinguish itself is by sustainability. The company has spent the past few years reducing its packaging, energy use and solid waste levels. In addition to conventionally grown crops, its portfolio of produce includes lots of organics, such as romaine lettuce, cauliflower and broccoli. From the Salinas Valley to Yuma, Arizona, Tanimura & Antle grows a good portion of the fresh vegetables and leafy greens that Americans consume every year.
