Grower Direct Nut Ingredient Supply is owned and operated by the Martella Family. Our family's roots as farmers in the Stanislaus County go back four generations. In 2020, Grower Direct Nut Ingredient Supply was established for pasteurization, roasting, bulk nuts, nut butter and more!
We are nut farmers, family-owned and family run for four generations. As tree nut farmers we care for the environment though water conservation, renewable energy, and regenerative soil.
At Grower Direct Nut Company, we process in-shell, shelled and diced walnuts and supply industrial food processors, re-baggers, retailers and produce markets worldwide. We also are validated to pasteurize almonds, pistachios (in-shell and kernels), macadamias, cashews, and brazil nuts.
Thanks to our family-run structure, we have first hand knowledge of our products from field to market. We use the finest machinery available at our state of the art facility, and enforce good farming and manufacturing practices through all stages of processing. We proudly stand behind our service and our products assuring consistency, reliability and outstanding quality.
