What we do
Three operations. One standard.
Growers trust us with their harvest; buyers count on us for consistent almonds. Everything we do is built around keeping that trust.
02 · Hulling & shelling
Your crop, handled personally.
We highly value our growers and give them a boutique level of attention, with every delivery handled with care and precision.
03 · Hulls & shells
Byproducts that feed the valley.
Hulls and shells from our hulling operation go to regional dairies, so nothing from the crop goes to waste.
How it works
From delivery to departure.
Every step, from receiving and hulling to packing and shipping, is managed with a focus on control, efficiency and accuracy.
Receiving
Growers deliver their almonds straight from harvest. Every load is received and handled with care.
Hulling & shelling
Our huller removes the hull and shell. Hulls and shells go on to regional dairies.
Sorting & packing
Almonds are sorted, inspected and packed in boxes, bags, fiber bins or super sacks.
Shipping
Shelled and inshell almonds leave McFarland by the truckload, bound for buyers worldwide.
