Titan Farms expands into organics

Titan Farms expands into organics through a partnership with a leading Southeast organic fruit and vegetable grower.

Titan Farms, a grower, packer and shipper of fresh peaches and vegetables, has entered into a partnership with Watsonia Farms and the Watson family. The collaboration marks an expansion of Titan Farms’ offerings, introducing Certified Organic Peaches to its premium portfolio.

Titan Farms will offer organic peaches in multiple pack styles, including 2-layer cartons, 2-pound bags and clamshell packaging, which is available with a pre-season commitment.

“With over a century of farming excellence, Watsonia Farms has built a legacy of sustainability, quality, and innovation in organic produce,” according to a news release. “The farm’s dedication to organic practices, food safety and environmental stewardship makes it a natural fit for Titan Farms’ commitment to delivering the highest-quality peaches to consumers nationwide.”

Ross Williams, President of Titan Farms, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Watsonia Farms to bring organic peaches to market,” Williams said in the release. “Their longstanding dedication to organic farming, combined with our expertise in quality and food safety, ensures that customers will receive the best-tasting organic peaches available. This partnership represents our commitment to meeting the evolving demands of today’s consumers while maintaining the high standards Titan Farms is known for.”

Partnering with Titan Farms represents an opportunity to bring Watsonia’s organic peaches to a broader market while maintaining quality and sustainability, Jerry Watson said in the release. “Our family has always believed in the power of collaboration and innovation, and working alongside Titan Farms allows us to continue that legacy. We look forward to growing together and providing consumers with the freshest, best-tasting organic peaches available.”

Founded in 1999 by Chalmers and Lori Anne Carr, Titan Farms is a grower, packer and shipper of fresh peaches and vegetables. Titan Farms markets itself as the largest East Coast peach grower, growing on more than 6,200 acres of peaches, 250 acres of bell peppers and 350 acres of broccoli.

Watsonia Farms, founded in 1918 by Joseph H. Watson Sr., is a fourth-generation family-owned operation that grows, packs and ships from a large catalog of 17 organic items, including peaches, asparagus, squash, eggplant, peppers and tomatoes. Watson’s leadership played a pivotal role in organizing peach farmers in the early stages to improve effective planting and harvesting practices as well as introducing other new crops in the Ridge area of South Carolina. In 2005, Watsonia Farms transitioned to organics.
