What Select Harvest does

Select Harvest USA is a privately held, vertically integrated almond grower, processor, and shipper founded in 1982 by two brothers in California's Central Valley. The company operates processing facilities in Turlock (kernel processing) and Orland (in-shell processing), aggregating supply from over 200 partner growers and marketing California almonds to 55 countries. It is positioned among the top five almond suppliers by volume in the industry and is the largest independent in-shell packer in California.

The company's core technology centers on physical almond handling: state-of-the-art dry roasting, Cool Steam pasteurization for food safety, specialized packaging, and the proprietary Select Harvest Extra No. 1 quality standard (established 2008) that exceeds USDA grading thresholds for visually sensitive export markets. Select Harvest was the first in the almond industry to achieve SQF certification and holds Bee Friendly Farming certification across 19,215.5 acres, providing third-party sustainability credentials increasingly demanded by international buyers.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) Global Ingredient sales of whole, sliced, slivered, diced, and meal/flour almonds in various USDA grades to industrial food manufacturers, confectioners, and food service providers via a dedicated field sales team; (2) Private label manufacturing for grocery retailers with full-service product development from concept to shelf, including custom packaging and EDI integration; and (3) Consumer retail products under the Select Harvest Almond Snacks sub-brand, including the Classic Line and Monk Crunch (zero-added-sugar, monk-fruit-sweetened, keto-friendly) sold through D2C e-commerce and retail partnerships. The go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise B2B field sales for ingredients plus direct-to-consumer e-commerce and retail partnerships for branded goods, with quote-based B2B pricing tied to grade, variety, and form.
