Farm Services in Merced County
Headquartered in Winton — Serving Livingston, Atwater & All of Merced County
Merced County Is Home
Merced County is home to Custom Farm Services. Our company has been headquartered in Winton since 1969, and our almond hulling facility operates just down the road in Ballico. For more than 55 years, CFS has worked alongside Merced County growers — tending the same soils, navigating the same seasons, and building the kind of trust that only comes from being your neighbor.
As a 4th-generation family-owned operation, we understand the land here because we have farmed it ourselves across almonds, sweet potatoes, corn silage, and forage crops. Whether you are running an almond orchard near Livingston, managing silage fields in Hilmar, or replanting acreage outside Atwater, Custom Farm Services has the equipment, the experience, and the local knowledge to get your job done right.
