Violich Farms Information

Violich Farms was founded in 1987 with the purchase of a 200 acre ranch on which to grow almonds. Over the past two decades, Violich Farms has become one of the largest growers of almonds and walnuts in the United States. Today, operating on approximately 9000 acres of company-owned and leased land, Violich Farms is privately-held and generates annual revenue of approximately $50 million. It is rare to find large sections of contiguous farmland in Northern California. Violich Farms is fortunate enough to own Capay Ranch, one of the largest plots of adjoining acreage in the area. With more than 3,800 acres, Capay Ranch allows Violich Farms to more effectively manage their farming inputs and labor resources, providing a lower cost of goods and a distinct competitive advantage. As one of the largest land owners in the Chico area, Violich Farms is also committed to giving back to the community. Each year, Violich Farms donates generously to local Northern California organizations. In particular, they are committed to providing funding for the arts and education. On a national scale, Violich Farms is dedicated to our nation’s men and women who are currently serving or who have served our country in the armed forces. A portion of donations is given to charitable organizations that are providing support to servicemen and women and their families.
