Strategy and operations consulting in Visalia.
Visalia is the seat of Tulare County in the southern San Joaquin Valley, one of California's leading dairy and citrus counties and a gateway to Sequoia National Park.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Visalia.

California Dairies, Inc., a large farmer-owned milk cooperative, is headquartered in Visalia, and Kaweah Health is the main hospital system. The World Ag Expo in nearby Tulare draws equipment makers and buyers from around the world, and Highway 99 connects packing houses and distribution centers to markets north and south.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Visalia management teams.
Groundwater limits, air-quality rules and methane-reduction programs for dairies are changing how farms and processors invest. Farm labour costs keep rising as California phases in overtime rules for agricultural workers, which accelerates interest in mechanisation. Many operations are multigenerational family businesses balancing reinvestment against succession and land values.
