The Produce Moms® is on a Mission.
The Produce Moms (TPM) is a leading resource in educating consumers on the benefits of eating fresh produce, the produce growing process, and tips for how to select, store and serve fruits and vegetables. We’re committed to creating honest and engaging content on produce quality, affordable recipes and school food programs that make it possible for all families in America to get the produce they need.
My name is Lori Taylor, and I am the founder & CEO of The Produce Moms. It is my personal mission to do all that I can, through consumer education and involvement in legislation, to get more fruits and vegetables to your table. Prior to launching TPM in 2015, I worked in grocery retailers selling fresh produce for 10 years. It was during this time that I recognized a gaping void in the industry:
If a consumer wanted to learn more about fresh produce — the brands, the benefits, the hard facts about the industry — they had nowhere to go!
Soon after, The Produce Moms was born, envisioned as the platform where our team would become THAT voice, the voice continually advocating for knowledge and accessibility to fresh produce.
In 2025, we proudly remain that unfiltered voice.
Our audience of more than 2.2 million (83% women) is fully vested in learning more about fruits and vegetables and – unlike other influencer brands out there – TPM is fully committed to driving consumption of fresh produce.
Despite the drastic changes occurring in our society, TPM has continued our mission to change the way America eats, speaking to consumers through our online content, social media, and growing podcast.
As Americans have changed the way we work, go to school, socialize, shop, and eat, we’re that go-to resource to keep produce a priority in your home.
⇢ We reach over 4 million people around the globe each month with what we collectively create.
⇢ We support the best farmers and produce brands in the United States.
⇢ We put our money where our mouth is. Lori has been to The White House two times, and testified to the Ways and Means committee about Farm Bill Funding and priority for fresh produce. We will continue to fight for fresh produce!
⇢ Our podcast, which has active listeners in over 40 countries, allows stakeholders and decision makers within the food industry to convey critical messages and information.
⇢ We continue to partner with brands that stand behind sustainability, transparency, and delivering the highest-quality product to our industry’s consumers.

The Produce Moms is not a blog or an influencer. We’re a company that’s committed to getting more fruits and vegetables on every table. We leverage the network and resources we have–our passion, our platform, and our partners–to get more fresh produce into our daily lives.
We are glad you’re here!
