In 1969, Henry Mollner was inspired to bring a domestic crop of pistachios
to the state of Arizona. At the time, 87% of the total world pistachio
production was being imported by the United States from the Middle
East. The idea became a reality in 1970 as pistachio groves were planted
in southern Arizona and a new specialty crop was born.
The high desert climate of southern Arizona created ideal conditions
for producing an outstanding quality pistachio that is sweeter and
distinctly greener than other pistachios grown elsewhere.
Our full scale farming operation and production facilities are located in historic Cochise County, Bowie, AZ.
