SETTONGet To Know

California’s central valley provides the ideal environment for growing the strong beautiful trees that bear our best tasting pistachios. With ownership in over 7,000 acres of planted pistachios, totaling nearly 1 million pistachio trees, Setton and its grower partners are advocates of healthy farming which assures that our pistachios are grown responsibly.

Enough sunlight falls on the earth's surface every hour to meet world energy demand for an entire year. Setton’s commitment to sustainable business and renewable energy will also set the stage for investigation of additional environmentally responsible business practices.

As an American agricultural business, and as a family owned company, Setton believes in not just planning for the future, but working toward a better one. By exploring new technologies, supporting family farms and encouraging environmentally friendly production methods, Setton is striving to support the next generation while producing superior pistachio products.

Today’s sophisticated consumers value not only the quality of the foods they eat, they are also concerned about how they are made. Solar energy will make it possible to bring our pistachios from the �eld to the store while o�-setting the carbon emissions from the consumption of 4,198 barrels of oil.

In partnership with Cenergy Power, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. is harnessing the power of the sun to make pistachios even greener than before. With the addition of two new solar photovoltaic (PV) systems totally 1.7 MW, Setton’s Solar Power System is the largest solar power system in the central valley. Photovoltaic (PV devices) or “solar cells” change sunlight directly into electricity.

Setton’s new solar power system will produce over 2.6 million kilowatt hours of clean energy per year to sort, roast and package millions of pounds of pistachios each year in Setton’s 300,000 square foot processing facility.

The emissions savings of Setton’s solar power system is equal to planting 400 acres of

pine forest annually.

Located in the heart of the San Joaquin valley in California’s central valley, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. is one of America’s largest pistachio growers and processors. The family’s passion for farming California pistachios began in 1989 and today Setton farms over 7,000 acres owned and in partnership with others.

Our impressive 50 acre processing and storage facility spans 300,000 square feet, incorporating the latest technologies in each stage of production. Our ability to focus on every step of the process ensures the top quality and value of our products for consumers. Setton attends to each detail of growing, harvesting, processing, manufacturing and packaging pistachios.
