About Us

Panoche Creek partner Ross Blackburn grew up in the almond business and today handles the firm’s almond sales. Partner Frank Roque joined Panoche Creek in 1997 as a field representative. Today he’s a partner in the company and the lead almond buyer.

A company’s stability and success are often measured by longevity. The executive team at Panoche Creek have more than 46 combined harvests behind them.  That stability is backed by a conservative business model and a commitment to constant communication with buyers and growers. Together, Ross, Frank and their employees are dedicated to a value-added approach that benefits both growers and buyers.

Growers are ensured of flexibility in marketing when they choose Panoche Creek. Season-to-season, field-to-field and in the approach to packing, growers can count on us for constant communication and on-time payment for product.
