POINDEXTER NUT

Christmas Eve of 1990, news was received that Nutridge Farms could not pay their growers. Once again, the Poindexter's refinanced and paid the growers money owed to them by Nutridge Farms. Eventually, Nutridge paid off all of their debt but Ron and Sherian decided they needed to take control of their own destiny. With a strong grower base and dedicated employees, the Poindexters' built their own processing plant and in the first year alone, PNC was able to process four million pounds of walnuts. In 1993, Ron and Sherian's son, Mike Poindexter, joined the company as a salesman and General Manager. With Mike's vision of growth for the company, Poindexter Nut Company now employs over 400 employees seasonally and currently processes 45 million pounds of walnuts a year, exporting to more than 45 countries... In 1985, Poindexter Nut Company began as commissioned buyers for Nutridge Farms. Tonnage was easily added to the walnut operation in both hulling and drying as well as in procurement..
