Stories of the Old West are full of people with pioneering spirits who were willing to try hard things in tough conditions. Bruce Taylor is the modern-day manifestation of that kind of grit, a requirement for succeeding at this level, which is to say creating the company that has become the largest supplier of fresh-cut salad in the United States. Taylor also has a vision. He has remade downtown Salinas into a fitting capital for the Salad Bowl of the World. As a developer and business owner he moved Taylor Farms’ headquarters and has revitalized dilapidated buildings, making him not just an industry leader, but a city leader as well.
