Come Grow With Us

Demand for California pistachios is growing steadily every year. And so are the numbers of growers who are recognizing the profit potential of pistachios and aligning themselves with the undisputed industry leader—Paramount Farms.

In fact, more than half of California’s pistachio growers have chosen to partner with Paramount Farms. That’s because as the world’s largest pistachio processor, we have the resources to do more for our Grower Partners. Our services set the industry standard, with priority handling at harvest, year-round personal service and fast access to the most up-to-date industry information available. And our marketing programs are far and away the most comprehensive in the business—especially when you factor in the power of our Sunkist retail brand, the industry’s bestseller. As a vertically integrated company, Paramount Farms has built its leadership position in pistachios from the ground up. We invite you to grow with us.

Paramount Farms is first and foremost a grower organization. And to us, grower profitability is the #1 priority. That’s why we invest four times more in farming than we do in processing. In a recent survey, Paramount Farm’s growers rated our service as “excellent.” Here’s why:
