Gold Leaf Farming

Gold Leaf Farming, founded in 2017, operates nearly 12,000 acres of farmland in the western United States. The company specializes in almond and pistachio orchards and is one of the largest growers of these nuts in the country. Their portfolio includes 26 farms, covering 12,000 acres, and focuses on three main crops: almonds, pistachios, and medjool dates. Gold Leaf Farming utilizes advanced agricultural technology to improve water use efficiency, monitor tree health, and implement precision farming techniques. The company is transitioning more than 30% of its acreage to organic farming, in crops where traditionally less than 1% has been organic, making it the largest organic almond grower in the USA. They practice water banking to replenish aquifers and have 73% of their acreage planted with regenerating cover crops. Gold Leaf Farming is committed to paying living wages, providing fully paid healthcare, and offering owners’ equity to farm operators. Employees also engage in community service projects and sponsored events. The company aims to ‘leave the world better than we found it by building farms, families, and a future we’re proud of.’
