Founded in 1990 by James R. Maxwell, Agriland Farming Company started in Madera County California with approximately 1,800 acres. Now it has grown to manage over 27,000 acres and, according to American Fruit Grower Magazine, is the 3rd largest Nut grower in the United States.

Based in the heart of California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley, Agriland focuses on crops that take advantage of the uniqueness of California’s climate and soil, including pistachios, almonds, walnuts, grapes, citrus, and figs – crops that are not labor intensive, which are more efficiently farmed through mechanization, and can be stored for extended periods of time after harvest for minimized price volatility.
