About Us

Terra Ag owns and operates over 9,000 acres of almond, pecan, and pistachio orchards as well as row crops in California, New Mexico and Arizona. Our mission is to maximize yield while minimizing our footprint to ensure sustainable yet efficient cultivation of permanent crops. We employ modern farming technology together with proven farming practices to increase our productivity across our almond, pecan and pistachio orchards. Our core values are key to our company fabric and help guide the way we operate every day.

Our Core Values

Our core values help define our farming practices and are critical to how we operate:

Data Driven

We combine our agricultural expertise with data to ensure the success of our farms. From soil and water data to historical production, data helps inform every key decision we make.

Value Add and Focused

Because of our deep understanding of our core crops and geographies, we often find value where others may not. We prefer to dive deep rather than be broad and unfocused.

Good Stewards

Although we want to maximize production, we understand this goal doesn’t need to come at the expense of environmentally sound farming practices. We focus on both.
