Farm Leasing &
Land Management
Four generations of Central Valley farming, working for your ground
Owning agricultural land is one thing. Making it productive and keeping it that way is another. Custom Farm Services manages and leases several hundred acres of almonds and row crop ground across the Central Valley, working closely with landowners to steward their property, maximize its value, and keep it in active production. Whether you're an investor who needs a reliable operator, an absentee owner looking for hands-on management, or a landowner exploring your options, we bring four generations of farming knowledge to every acre we touch.
Land Management Services
From full hands-off management to filling the gaps in your own operation, we tailor our involvement to fit your goals.
Full Farm Management
For landowners who want their property professionally managed without the day-to-day involvement, we handle the operations -- irrigation, pest management, fertilization, pruning, harvest coordination, and everything in between -- while keeping you informed and involved in the decisions that matter. Our services cover mature almond orchards as well as row crop ground, tailored to each property's conditions, water situation, and ownership goals.
Custom Farming
Need specific farming operations handled on your property? We provide custom farming for landowners who manage some aspects themselves but need an experienced team for the hands-on fieldwork. From ground preparation to harvest, our crew and equipment are available to fill the gaps in your operation.
Leasing Arrangements
We actively lease agricultural ground for our own farming operations, offering both short-term and long-term arrangements structured to work for both parties. Our leases are straightforward, our communication is direct, and we treat leased ground with the same care and investment as if it were our own -- because our reputation depends on it.
Crops We Manage
Our management and farming operations span a range of Central Valley crops:
This diversification reflects the flexibility of our operation and our understanding of the rotation and market considerations that drive smart land use decisions in this region. Almonds receive full lifecycle management, from mature orchard care through harvest.

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
Ballico, CA
"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."
