Invest In California Citrus & Build Strength in Consolidation.
From a humble beginning with a spray rig and a few acres in Delano, CMC has grown into a diversified, fourth-generation family farming operation.
About Us
Led by the Fishers, CMC encompasses a large custom farming operation with four strategic locations from Fresno to Bakersfield in California’s Central Valley, a coast-to-coast trucking business with cross border freight operations from Mexico, a freight brokerage, and a propane business serving the entire San Joaquin Valley. The Fishers credit their success to the strong relationships they’ve built throughout the industry.
CMC understand the impact of factors like the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SIGMA) on agricultural practices and market conditions.

Our Roots
2015 - 2020
Observance of institutional capital buying up operating companies and not necessarily doing it well.
2020
SGMA implementation begins.
2021
CMC legacy clients began to sell. Larger institutions buying. Matt attends GAI to learn about institutional capital.
2022
Drought and evidence of citrus growers becoming more concerned about SGMA and regulatory environment in CA. More properties coming to market. CMC begins hiring of staff to prep for new wave of institutional capital acquisitions and reporting requirements (Director of Farming).
2023
Engagement with larger institutions and an overall lack of penetration of where the citrus deals are to be had. New CFO hired to shore up reporting requirements. Too large of thresholds ($10M minimum). Deals to be had are in the $2-7M Range.
