Through my research, I stumbled across a website named ‘The Keenan Tribe’
You are able to find ancestors and family that you’ve lost touch with and attend events online to speak to other members of the ‘Keenan tribe.’
There is even a Keenan shop where you can buy paraphernalia.
I came across Keenan Farms whilst researching my family name of Keenan.
In 1972, the Keenan’s purchased 100 acres of newly planted pistachio trees in Avenal, California. Four years later, the trees produced their first crop of just 500 pounds, and with no processing facilities nearby, the Keenans built their own. Fast forward a few decades and while so much has changed, the family values and vision that drove our business from the beginning resonate to this day.
Still in the same location, the Keenan Farms processing plant that opened along with that first harvest has expanded along with the size and scope of the industry. State-of-the-art equipment and facilities have been continuously integrated into the plant, while the original pistachio trees planted many years ago still flourish alongside ever-increasing orchards. We are privileged to be part of a thriving community of growers, producers, and packers in the Central Valley!
How amazing!
