At South Valley Farms, we are committed to leveraging our scale and financial strength across all aspects of our farming operations to produce a consistent, high-quality crop each year. We are committed to responsible and sustainable farming. We never cut corners, ensuring quality and integrity in everything we do.
All of our orchards are irrigated with highly efficient micro-jet or drip irrigation systems. We also monitor soil moisture to identify when it needs watering, which further cuts down on water usage.
Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan offers a sustainable approach to pest control by combining prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatments. It minimizes the use of chemicals, reduces environmental impact, and ensures the health and safety of both people and ecosystems.
We perform orchard sanitation across our fields every year, which reduces habitat for pests and contributes to our premium quality almonds.
We invest in new farm equipment frequently. Consistently modernizing gives us the best, most reliable and eco-friendly farm equipment, including tractors, harvesters, shakers, sweepers, and conditioners. Owning our own fleet of equipment enables efficient and timely harvesting, reducing the risk of adverse effects of prolonged exposure in the field.
Each orchard we plant represents a 20-plus year commitment, reflecting our dedication to being good stewards of the land.
