Orsetti Seeds

Vegetable Seed Supplier — Hanford, CA

Hanford is the county seat of Kings County in the south-central San Joaquin Valley.

Hanford is the county seat of Kings County in the south-central San Joaquin Valley. Kings County supports a farm economy of cotton, dairy, processing vegetables, and field crops, with valley floor acreage irrigated by surface water from the Kings River system and groundwater. Orsetti Seed Company serves Kings County and the broader San Joaquin Valley through an independent dealer network, with commercial hybrid varieties evaluated under California field conditions.

Kings County's agricultural land on the eastern side of the valley, where the Kings River delivers water from the Sierra Nevada, supports reliable summer crop production. Processing tomatoes and peppers in this zone benefit from the long, hot growing season and the availability of contract processing infrastructure in the greater Fresno-Kings County market area. Orsetti's processing tomato program — 8 varieties, 67–80 days — covers the full range of harvest windows used in California's processing industry.
