Grimmway Farms
The Grimm brothers began nurturing their family business in the fertile soil of Kern County more than 3 decades ago. Today, their roots run deep. Grimmway Farms has grown to become the largest grower, producer and shipper of carrots in the world; but the family still insists on walking the fields, visiting the processing facilities and performing their own brand of quality assurance — every single day. In 1968 when Rod and Bob Grimm set up their first roadside produce stand, the brothers made a promise: always take care of the customer.
Decades later, that promise has never been broken. Grimmway Farms’ dedication to consistent quality and dependable service has made them the global leader in their industry.
Acknowledging and responding to the issues important to their customers is important to them. To address the growing consumer demand for pesticide-free fruits and vegetables, Grimmway Farms is continuously developing new avenues of opportunity.
In 2001, they acquired Cal-Organics, a pioneer organic produce company providing more than 75 organic product offerings.
