Justin Wylie is a fifth-generation farmer and partner at Wylie Farms, a family business specializing in regenerative farm management of pistachios, almonds, and citrus. Growing up in Merced, Justin developed a deep appreciation for farming, inspired by his father Craig Wylie and uncle Chris Wylie, who have been devoted to pistachio farming since the 1970s under the mentorship of the renowned pistachio legend, Bob Peterson.
When he’s not at home with his wife and four children on their organic Golden Nugget ranch, Justin dedicates his time to farming his own organic pistachio orchards in Madera, California. Alongside his farming responsibilities, Justin serves on the American Pistachio Growers sustainability committee, leveraging his expertise and efforts to promote regenerative practices in the industry.
