Minturn Nut Company

all mighty almonds

Thinking big comes easy.

Our passion for the almond business began in the orchard. We were determined to build the type of company that takes care of growers. Today, as one of California’s largest independent almond companies, we grow, package, ship, and export worldwide. But for us, being large doesn’t mean feeling corporate. We’re known for our quality and consistency, but we pride ourselves on thinking big while feeling small.

Almond harvesting on the Minturn Farm

Built by growers.
Committed to growers.

We started as almond growers, so we know what it takes. And how to take care of our own. That’s why the 300+ growers we partner with today are at the heart of every decision we make. And why we go above and beyond to keep them thriving.


Quality without compromise.

Bringing our high-quality almonds to people around the world means ensuring consistency and integrity in every shipment we deliver. We invest in top-of-the-market technology and maintain strict food safety standards, processing certifications, and clean facilities.

"You could not ask for a company to treat you more fairly, more openly or honestly than Minturn. It is not just about the business with them, it’s about relationships. That's why I have been doing business with them for over 22 years."

Ken Samarin

Grower, Kerman, CA

“Minturn was the pioneers in the almond industry. They are not afraid to be the first person to innovate their systems if it benefits them and their growers in the long run.”

Mike Emerzian

Valley Welding, Fresno CA

"Minturn is a large almond handler that operates like a small one. They have grown because they care about their relationships. They haven’t lost touch with the customers that helped them get there."

Stephen Meltzer

Trader, Montreal, Canada

"They are farmers themselves so they put us first. With Minturn, if we don’t make money they don’t have a business either. So they are free with the information. They genuinely want their growers to do well."

"- Minturn is a great company to work with. They have an inviting demeanor, are open to innovate, and they allow people to flourish within their community. This is not just true for their employees but their vendors as well."
