Our Story

The Orchard

Saddleback Orchard is a family owned and operated certified organic pistachio orchard located about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. The orchard of 5000 trees was planted in the spring of 1991 and the spring of 1992.

When the State of Nevada started its organic certification program in 1998, we elected to be certified in their program. When the State of Nevada discontinued its organic certification program in 2016, we maintained our organic status through the use of private organic certification companies. Currently, we are certified organic by CCOF. You can find additional information about them here.

Our 8000 sq ft processing plant was completed in 2002 along with the installation of all new state of the art equipment manufactured and installed by Beeler Industries of Modesto, California. Here we process, roast, salt, and pack our pistachios.

RealSalt

We use RealSalt, a Kosher certified all natural sea salt mined underground from an ancient sea bed in Utah. Our pistachios have a "sweet salt" flavor that you may not have experienced. Please visit RealSalt on the web by clicking their logo and find out why it's special.
