Our Team

It’s no secret we’re an Agcentric bunch. Farming’s in our blood, and dirt’s under our fingernails. Our team is proud of the legacies within our walls and excited for the space to help more farmers along the way.

Our qualified employees are well-trained with mechanic certifications, peer training, and more. Chico Farm & Orchard is affiliated with the Far West Equipment Dealers Association (FWEDA) and the Butte County Farm Bureau (BCFB). Benefit from our experience and our decades-long relationships with other industry professionals.

You can find us most days in the shop, out in the field helping our farmers, or finding new ways to improve efficiencies on our machinery. We’re locals born and raised, and we’re proud to be a part of supporting agriculture in our community.
