Gold Leaf Farming (“Gold Leaf’) announced Aug. 19 the acquisition of a new 1,173-acre almond orchard located within James Irrigation District in Fresno County. The orchard was acquired from multigenerational landowners with AgriWealth Inc. operating as the sole broker in this transaction. Gold Leaf’s farming team, led by Brandon Rebiero and Manuel Almanza, is thrilled to farm the orchard. Gold Leaf will continue many of the excellent farming practices of past owners while converting the almonds from conventional to organic.

“We are excited about this acquisition,” said Gold Leaf’s Josh Guggenheim.  He continued, “This property’s characteristics, in particular the high yield  and secure water rights, align well with our firm’s focus to own structurally-advantaged farms with low cost of production for the long-term.”
