COVER STORY GRIT, GROWTH AND GIVING BACK Wonderful Co.'s Stewart Resnick is Our 2025 Award of Honor Recipient By Taylor Lauson, Communications Manager
For over 50 years, Stewart and Lynda Resnick have built one of the most successful companies in the U.S., producing iconic, healthy foods and helping communities thrive in California's Central Valley and beyond.
For more than two centuries, the idea of the American Dream has inspired generations born on this soil just as much as those who arrived seeking opportunity. It’s the enduring belief that with hard work, grit and determination, anyone – regardless of where they start – can rise from modest roots to build something lasting, meaningful and entirely their own. This is exactly what Stewart Resnick, Chairman, President and Co-owner of The Wonderful Company, has accomplished. Resnick founded the company alongside his wife, Lynda Resnick, almost 50 years ago. Together, they’ve built one of the
world’s largest privately held agricultural, real estate and consumer packaged goods companies, with nearly $7 billion in annual revenue and a more than 10,000-person global workforce. They own and produce iconic, healthy brands including FIJI Water, POM Wonderful, Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Halos, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Teleflora, and JUSTIN and Lewis Cellars wines. Chances are, their products are already in your kitchen – or your neighbor’s – since nearly half of U.S. households have them in their pantries.
