Our Story

Built in the Valley.
Built for the Valley.

JCS Marketing was founded around 2011 with the launch of West Coast Nut magazine. What started as a single publication serving California's tree nut industry has grown into a full media company with three print publications, a digital platform, and six annual events that draw thousands of industry professionals from across the state.

We built this company from the ground up in the Central Valley — the heart of California agriculture. We didn't come to ag from the outside. We live here. Every magazine we publish, every conference we produce, and every podcast we record is designed for the people who actually work in the fields, manage the farms, and advise the growers.

Today, JCS Marketing reaches growers, PCAs, CCAs, ag retailers, and industry decision-makers through print, digital, events, and agency services. Our publications are on the desks of every major operation in the state. Our events are where the industry gathers to do business.

"I don't think there's another publication that has more trust in the valley, in the industry."

Our Values · 1 of 3

Just & Fair.

We treat every advertiser, subscriber, and partner the same — with honesty, transparency, and respect. Our editorial is independent. Our relationships are built on trust that's been earned over 15+ years, not purchased with rate discounts.

When we publish, we publish what's true and useful to our readers. When we take on a client, we give them our best work regardless of deal size. That consistency is why the same names have been on our pages for over a decade.

Our Values · 2 of 3

Community First.

California agriculture is our community. Every decision we make is measured against whether it serves the people who grow our food. That means our events are run for attendees first, advertisers second. Our editorial serves readers, not revenue.

We show up at the same meetings our readers attend. We know the names of the farmers, the PCAs, the suppliers. This isn't a market we're targeting — it's a community we belong to.

Our Values · 3 of 3

Service Driven.

We show up. At the conferences, in the field, on the phone. Our team is accessible and accountable to the people we serve — advertisers, subscribers, event attendees, and agency clients alike.

A small company with a 15-person team punching far above its weight. We do it by being genuinely useful to everyone who works with us, and by never treating "good enough" as acceptable.

We didn't start a media company. We started a conversation with California agriculture.
