Vertically integrated from planting to loading, AndrewsAg offers a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables from its southern San Joaquin Valley ranch in California. The company delivers its agricultural commodities throughout the world to a preferred client base of wholesalers, distributors, brokers and retailers. It also provides custom farming and custom cooling services to the trade. The company specializes in growing asparagus, cantaloupe, green bell peppers, iceberg lettuce, red peppers and romaine lettuce. The company has also developed an integrated on farm drainage management system. The IFDM system is based on the principle of sequentially reusing saline drainage water to irrigate crops of progressively increasing salt tolerance. This is a four-stage system. Salt concentrated in the remaining drainage water is collected for water evaporation and salt crystallization instead of the conventional liquid basin. AndrewsAg is headquartered in Bakersfield, Calif.
