Ridge Spring, S.C. — Titan Farms, the largest peach grower on the East Coast, is proud to announce the release of its inaugural 2024 Sustainability Report. The report focuses on key achievements and continued commitments across climate impact reduction, land stewardship, workforce support, and continuous improvement throughout the organization. 

Built around Titan Farms’ four core sustainability pillars: Climate (GHG Reduction), Land Stewardship, People & Community, and Continuous Improvement, the report details Titan Farms’ comprehensive approach to responsible farming, precision agriculture, energy and water efficiency, waste reduction, and employee and community investment. Additionally, it establishes a clear baseline for future measurement, offering year-over-year emissions data and expanded Scope 3 insights that will guide long-term climate strategy.

Titan Farms further advanced its measurement systems by partnering with CarbonCents, enabling more robust emissions tracking and greater transparency in its sustainability reporting.

“Sustainability isn’t an initiative at Titan Farms, it’s who we are,” said Ross Williams, President of Titan Farms. “This report demonstrates our continued commitment to doing things the right way: protecting our land, improving our operations, and caring for the people who make our work possible.”

2024 Highlights Include:

  • 587,300 pounds of corrugated cardboard recycled
  • A 6.77% reduction in waste-related emissions
  • A 16.76% reduction in packhouse fuel consumption through operational optimization
  • 5,096 metric tons of CO₂e absorbed by Titan Farms’ forests and orchards 
  • 37,800 pounds of peaches donated to local food banks through community partnerships
  • Continued progress toward long-term goals, including 100% diversion of all operational recyclable materials by 2032

“We are proud of the progress we’ve made, and we’re even more excited about what comes next in years to come,” said Chalmers Carr, CEO and Founder of Titan Farms. “Our responsibility as stewards of this land, and leaders in our industry, drives us to improve year after year. In 2024, we continued to strengthen our recycling programs, refine our use of precision agriculture, and manage the forests and orchards that naturally sequester thousands of tons of carbon annually. These efforts reflect our deep commitment to caring for our land, supporting our people, and producing exceptional fruit and vegetables with integrity. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to building on this foundation and advancing practices that benefit our farm, our community, and the families we feed.”
