Well, not 'xactly.  Those outfits are co-ops, owned collectively by the 
various farm owners who are part of the co-op.

But the folks who actually pick the nuts and grapes have no ownership 
stake in the co-op.  They're merely hired employees of the various farm 
owners.

Nor do the workers who work in the processing plants to process, 
package, and ship the nuts and raisins have any ownership interest.
They likewise are hired workers working for the co-op.

Now Bi-Mart here locally is an actual employee-owned business.
