Grand Island Orchard & Headquarters

Rich walnut farming traditions are at the heart of the 236.67-acre Grand Island Orchard & Headquarters, located in Colusa County, only a one-hour drive north of Sacramento.

At the core of the orchards are 180 acres of planted walnuts, situated a stone’s throw away from the banks of the Sacramento River. Fertile Class II and III soils, solar-powered 100 HP ag irrigation well, and riparian rights to the Sacramento River support a bountiful harvest of walnuts. If needed, there are an additional 10 acres of fertile land that could be cultivated for a crop other than walnuts.

Orchard headquarters consist of a comfortable 2,461 square foot guest home with a pool, detached four-car garage, a 1,090 square foot three-bedroom home used for storage, and a 900 square foot two-bedroom home used as an office. There are two large and functional workshops with large roll-up doors, cement floors, shelving, electricity provided by solar panels on the roof, and a lift. Two historical barns remind one of the timeless agricultural traditions of the region.
