About Us
Thermiculture Farming is a full service citrus and date farm management company, we farm (for our growers) 2,480 acres of citrus, mostly lemons, mandarins and grapefruit of that 680 acres organically and of that 170 acres is our own. We farm the largest organic date farming operation in the world with 4,600 acres of 100% organic Medjool, Deglet, Zahidi and Barhi dates. About half are sold fresh and half for food processing. Energy bars, Cliff bar, Luna bar and general mills are our largest buyers. We operate our own commercial tree trimming / mechanical topping, hedging and shredding equipment, and our own green waste mulch application company applying over 35,000 tons of locally recycled and composted landscape green waste. In our sandy desert soils the bulky green waste helps with our water holding and nutrient holding capacities in our 0-.05% OM soils. We also produce our own compost tea to help supplement our mulch applications and overall nutrition and soil health. We produce 1,000 gallons daily during our season from February through July, supplying not only our own groves but others, and also including a few of the local golf courses.
