Growing

Keenan Farms is headquartered in the very heart of California’s San Joaquin Valley, the best place in the world to grow pistachios. Our prime location in the center of the state’s major pistachio-producing acreage allows for convenient transport and timely processing during the harvest season—so critical to maintaining the exceptional quality for which we are known.

Processing

Like a fine wine, processing practices make the difference between a good pistachio and a great pistachio, which is why we have consistently invested in our equipment and procedures. As our capacity continues to expand to accommodate production needs, the team at Keenan Farms never loses sight of the smaller details—every customer’s order must meet our ‘simply the best’ standards.

Distribution

With careful consideration for food safety standards, testing certifications, and methods of delivery, our domestic and international distribution capabilities allow us to ship to locations anywhere in the world. Our commitment to excellent customer service extends from our dedicated sales representatives to our top-tier logistics team, resulting in a better product experience for our clients and the consumer.

Family Business With Family Values

Our Story

In 1972, Charles Keenan purchased 100 acres of newly planted pistachio trees in Avenal, California. Four years later, the trees produced their first crop of just 500 pounds, and with no processing facilities nearby, the Keenans built their own. Fast forward a few decades and while so much has changed, the family values and vision that drove our business from the beginning resonate to this day.

Still in the same location, our processing plant has expanded along with the size and scope of the industry. State-of-the-art equipment and facilities have been continuously integrated into the plant, while the original pistachio trees planted many years ago still flourish alongside ever-increasing orchards. We are privileged to be part of a thriving community of growers, producers, and packers in the Central Valley!
