Monte Vista Farming Company

In 1985, Monte Vista Farming Company entered the almond handling business. Packaged and marketed under the California Royale Brand®, almonds that are grown by the Monte Vista Farming Company and it's independent growers are proudly sold in more than 20 countries world wide. The success of the brand is a credit to the growers and the management of the company, and the vision of it's founder, Mr. Crecelius. His vision was for growers to participate in the marketing of their crop while maintaining crop ownership until the sale was complete. This system provided the safety that growers lacked when pooling their crops with other handlers. This system, now known as the Grower Select Marketing System provides growers with an added degree of safety and confidence for the value of their annual farming effort and is the original grower controlled almond marketing system.
