Food and Agricultural Code § 69082

The provisions of this chapter do not apply to pistachios produced only for the producer’s home use or where the pistachios are used only for ornamental purposes; provided, however, that such producer shall file an affidavit with the commission establishing that his pistachios are not produced for commercial purposes. In any event, no production of pistachios in excess of 1,000 dried pounds per year is exempt from the assessment under this article.
