Tri Valley Growers
At the time of its chapter 11 bankruptcy, Tri-Valley was the largest canner of peaches in the nation and a major processor of tomatoes and tomato products. The firm was chapter 11 counsel to this nonprofit agricultural cooperative with annual revenues of approximately $800 million. With DIP financing put in place in advance of the summer "pack," the debtor was sold to its secured lenders through a negotiated plan of reorganization in a case that concluded in less than one year.
