Arun Ohri was Tim's pick for 2024 Ag Person of the Year on our annual Acre Awards.
Arun Ohri ([email protected]) is a farmer who owns both Jubilant Earth Nursery and AAA Land Management. He was raised by a family of farmers who grew peaches on 20 acres in Yuba City.
Thirty-six years ago, they also planted walnut trees in what Ohri describes as really bad conditions – “muck.” Those trees have since adapted to rough conditions. Ohri stresses these aren’t genetically modified trees — they have naturally evolved to be able to thrive in poor soil and Jubilant Earth Nursery now sells them.
Ohri says these seeds are hardier and make going organic more easy. On his own 1600-acre farm, he currently grows walnuts and almonds. About 400 acres are organic, and he’s working on transitioning the remaining 1,200 acres.
Arun has recently scaled his biological product, Worm Fuel, and also has a DTC nut butter company, Amazing Nut Company.
