Welcome back to the orchard! Hull split has begun across California. As almond orchards approach harvest, the almond hulls split open, exposing the shell to the summer heat. This process hardens the nut inside and prepares it for harvest. With the recent spike in temperatures and the rapidly advancing hull split, almond farmers are working hard to ensure their orchards continue to thrive this summer. Stay tuned for more updates from the orchard! #welcometotheorchard #wearebluediamond

Bringing the goodness of almonds to the world
About us
Blue Diamond Growers is on a global mission to share the benefits of almonds with the world. Blue Diamond Growers is the world's largest almond processing and marketing company. We are the world’s leading almond brand, and we’re focused on building markets and creating new products to deliver the benefits of almonds to the world. Made up of more than 3,000 growers, we’re cooperatively owned by half of the state's almond growers who produce over 80 percent of the world almond supply. The California almond crop is marketed to all 50 states and more than 90 foreign countries, making almonds California's largest food export, the sixth largest U.S. food export and the #1 specialty crop in America. We keep that market-leading position by remaining strategically ahead of the curve, with continual innovations in our award-winning processing plants and information technology systems that have grown by leaps and bounds to support global growth. Our biggest point of differentiation, though, is our people. Through cooperation and teamwork, we, the Almond People as we’re affectionately known, deliver the best-tasting, highest-value almonds and almond products in the world. This is an exciting time at Blue Diamond where every team member can showcase their talents and contribute in new and innovative ways to drive accomplishments. The opportunity is here for each of us to step up, take our futures in hand and find new ways to achieve at Blue Diamond. We’re building on our strengths, learning as we go, trusting one another and realizing unprecedented levels of success. Diversity creates a healthier atmosphere: All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, protected veteran status, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.

It’s National Pollinator Week! Almonds have a close relationship with pollinators, especially honeybees. We are grateful recipients of a 5-year, $45M grant from the USDA to implement climate-smart practices on participating Blue Diamond farms. In the first year alone, Blue Diamond farmers planted more than 17,000 acres of almond orchards with cover crops. That’s large enough to cover the island of Manhattan! We’re proud of grant grant partners Project Apis m. and Pollinator Partnership, organizations we have worked with for several years to enhance pollinator habitat in and around Blue Diamond member orchards. #nationalpollinatorweek #wearebluediamond

Welcome back to the orchard! With the spring season largely behind us and California’s hot summer months ahead, almond kernels have largely solidified into the tasty, crunchy nut we know and love. In the coming weeks, almond farmers will be keeping an eye out for signs of hull split, which signals that the almonds are almost ready to be harvested! In the meantime, farmers are providing the orchards with the water and nutrients necessary to thrive this summer. Stay tuned for more updates from the orchard! #welcometotheorchard #wearebluediamond
