Tejon Ranch

Tejon Ranch’s agricultural operation primarily grows almonds, pistachios, and wine grapes, along with some alfalfa and the occasional row crop.

[3] In May 2021, Barry Zoeller, vice president of corporate communications, said the firm derives revenue from resort, residential, commercial and industrial development; from selling and licensing natural resources such as minerals, oil, and water; from crops such as pistachios, and ranch operations, including leasing land for cattle grazing; from their hunting program, in which sport hunters pay to be guided on hunts for wildlife on the ranch, and from providing locations for filming commercials, television and movies.

"[7] In 2012, the ranch suspended all hunting, following a 2011 California Department of Fish and Game investigation into the illegal killing of mountain lions.

It is situated where several ecoregions meet and overlap: the Mojave Desert, the Central Valley, the Sierra Nevada, and the Transverse Ranges of Southern California.

[15] California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger traveled to the ranch in May of that year to take part in the announcement,[16] with the signing of the agreement in June.

[20] Three large warehouses have been built by the Tejon Ranch Company as the first in what will be an industrial complex designed to compete with distribution centers in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

About a third of the park is expected to be declared a foreign trade zone, allowing importers to defer payment of U.S. customs duty.
