A few things we’re great at
Norene now oversees the family’s nut-growing business with guidance from his dad, Donald Norene.
Founded in 1954, the family growing operation has seen the ups and downs of nearly 70 years of California agriculture, and they continue to adapt to new technologies and challenges. From irrigation and pest management to pruning and cover cropping, Norene and everyone who works at Big Time Farming seek to integrate the best growing practices into their operation.
Norene also serves on the California Walnut Board, helping to position the industry for the future.
We asked Norene to share his perspective on the current and future state of the walnut-growing industry in California.
