About Us
San Joaquin Sulphur Co.
A Family Business Since 1941
Our family has been providing quality products and service to agriculture in the same location for over 50 years! The two owner-brothers even made the deliveries in the evening after closing the shop.
Our products have evolved with the industry. Our local crops have changed from mostly row crops to primarily trees and vines now. We embrace sustainable growing practices and promote Lodi Rules. Additionally, we incorporate green practices in our operation as much as possible by recycling paper, ink, drums, and coordinating deliveries to minimize our fuel usage. We practice what we preach.
Most importantly, our message is unchanged and still rings loud and clear. We treat our growers with respect and fairness and provide them with the best available solutions for their farm.
