Our History
Custom Farm Services was founded in 1969 in Winton, a small farming community in Merced County at the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley. What started as a family operation serving neighboring farms has grown over four generations into one of the most trusted agricultural services providers in the region.
For more than 55 years, the Kruppa family and the CFS team have worked the soils of the Central Valley, building expertise across a wide range of crops and services. The company's roots run deep in almonds, sweet potatoes, corn silage, and forage crops — the staple commodities that define agriculture in this part of California. That hands-on, generational experience means CFS understands the rhythms of the growing season, the demands of each crop, and the realities that growers face year after year.
From its earliest days, CFS has invested in the equipment, the people, and the relationships needed to deliver results. The company operates a full-service almond huller located in Ballico, California, and maintains a fleet of modern equipment capable of handling everything from ground preparation and planting to harvesting and hauling. Every piece of equipment and every crew member reflects the same standard: get the job done right, on time, and at a fair price.
Today, Custom Farm Services operates from its headquarters at 9575 Walnut Ave, Winton, CA 95388, serving growers across four Central Valley counties. The company remains family-owned, independently operated, and focused on the same mission it was built on more than half a century ago.

Our Mission & Values
"We want to grow together. Property is more than a parcel; it is our home and heartland."
That statement captures everything Custom Farm Services stands for. The land we work is not just acreage on a map. It is home — to the families who own it, to the communities that depend on it, and to the generations who will inherit it. CFS treats every property with that understanding.

We do what we say we will do. Pricing is transparent, timelines are honored, and communication is direct.
Stewardship
We care for the land as if it were our own, because in many ways it is. The Central Valley is our home too.
Partnership
We succeed when our growers succeed. That means listening, adapting, and working together season after season.
Excellence
Four generations of experience have taught us there are no shortcuts in farming. We invest in the best equipment, people, and practices.

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by growers across the Central Valley
"Custom Farm Services did an outstanding job removing our old almond orchard. The crew was professional, efficient, and left the field clean and ready for replanting. They handled everything from pushing to grinding and even coordinated the chip hauling. Highly recommend them to any grower in the Valley."
Dante Rojas

"We've used Custom Farm Services for three separate orchard removals over the past five years. Each time, they showed up on time, worked quickly, and delivered exactly what they promised. They also helped us navigate the Air District grant paperwork, which saved us a significant amount. These guys know what they're doing."
