PCA SERVICE

Our growers have the opportunity to partner with one of our three experienced pest control advisors, who together bring over 75 years of combined experience. They currently monitor more than 8,000 acres of walnuts in the Central Valley. Poindexter Nut Company fully funds this service to ensure the highest quality and maximize grower profitability.

EARLY HARVEST PROGRAM

The Early Harvest Program helps advance the harvest date to preserve the quality of the walnuts. Poindexter Nut Company covers the cost of the Etherol, while the growers are responsible for the application. By improving walnut quality, we enhance both the value and marketability of the product, ultimately benefiting the grower's bottom line.

HULLING AND DRYING

We provide top-tier hulling and drying services. Given the time-sensitive nature of walnut harvest, we have a dedicated team to ensure your crop is handled efficiently and promptly.
