Our Story

Rancho Vignola has been offering the ‘Best of the New Crop’ since 1980. Company founders, Richard and Sue Vignola started out running a natural food store in Vernon, BC and eventually found their niche in natural food wholesales which led them to create a seasonal business that would allow customers to buy large quantities of the freshest, new crop nuts and dried fruit on the market. To this day, Rancho Vignola sells most of our products through annual wholesale orders, but also offers non-wholesale purchases at community Harvest Sales in November and online sales from December to July.

Richard and Sue not only built a successful and sustainable business model—they have created a community of people who are as passionate about quality food as they are.

Our Growers

We have travelled far and wide to learn from and connect with the people who grow and produce our food. While many suppliers won’t sell new crop at harvest (they prefer to sell the remainder of the previous year’s crop) we have been fortunate to establish strong relationships with suppliers who appreciate our unique business model—they are the reason we can offer such a vast variety of premium quality, new crop products.

Seasonal Ordering

Rancho Vignola sells during specific times of year because our business coincides with fall harvest during which a majority of crops are harvested and our products are at their peak of quality and freshness. We never warehouse products from year to year, instead we order specific amounts that allow us to sell through most our inventory so product isn’t sitting on the shelves from one year to the next. Any remaining inventory at the end of the season is donated to food banks and charitable organizations across Canada. 

Wholesale pre-ordering begins in early September and continues until the end of September. We also offer ordering opportunities that have no minimum and feature smaller package sizes. No minimum ordering is offered at our annual Harvest Sales (in select communities) and our online sales beginning December 1st and until July 31st.

We are committed to supporting our community

'For years I've heard from family and friends how great Rancho Vignola's products were and heard legendary stories of how much they spent at their annual sales. I used to think it was strange that people were so excited about nuts and dried fruit. What's the big deal? And I would never spend that much on snacks! Until I wandered into their annual sale, nibbled on a few tasters and felt my eyes grow huge and my mouth water. I had no idea it could taste that good. I left my first annual sale like a veteran. A huge box of all sorts of nuts, fruit, candy, baking supplies, a solid hit on my credit card and looking forward to more. Yup, hooked!' -- Susan Armstrong

'I have been ordering from Rancho Vignola for over 10 years. I live rurally and have mail ordered bulk as availability has always been a problem. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the freshness and quality of the nuts and fruits that I ordered and came to realize that there was no going back. I try to order organic when I can and am happy that Rancho Vignola still offer the choice as sometimes I just cannot afford the organic choice. I have never been disappointed with the quality and appreciate the heads up that come in the newsletters they send out about their investigations around crop management and success or failures of the year. I always buy the gift packages for gifts as I ma pleased to pass on the wonderful product to my friends and family. Thank you for bringing the southern sunshine to our Canadian winters.' -- Penny Vere
