The Legacy of Hashem Naraghi

Our story begins with Hashem Naraghi, a visionary farmer who emigrated to California from Iran in pursuit of the American Dream. Through hard work and determination, he built one of the largest almond-growing operations in the world, spanning over 20,000 acres across Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, and San Joaquin counties. Hashem was a pioneer in the agricultural industry, patenting drought-resistant almond trees and proving that orchards could thrive in previously dismissed arid regions. His legacy continues to inspire us as we expand into new markets and innovate with crops like walnuts, pistachios, and pomegranates. Today, his innovative spirit drives our dedication to sustainable farming and community growth, making us a trusted name in the industry.
