the Salinas Valley, and today the company has grown into one of the
premier grower-shippers with over 22,000 acres in California, Arizona,
and Nevada. Commodities include over 40 different conventional
items and 40 different organic items. The Nunes Company is a proud
supporter and member of The Eastern Produce Council and pleased

The guest speaker at the event will be Tom Nunes (T5), who graduated from Cornell University in
1999, was a 4-year letterman and a 1998 Gazette 2nd team All-American at Strong Safety for the Big Red

the company, spending time in Sales, Production, and Harvesting. Today, Tom resides in Salinas, CA with
his wife Kristy and three children: Thomas (T6) 10, Trey, 6 and Kate, 8. He is currently the Vice-President
of Operations and sits on the Executive Board of The Nunes Company, Inc. Tom is a 4th generation farmer
