Growing Good

Farmers have reduced the amount of water needed to grow each almond by 33 percent between the 1990s and 2010s and stand committed to another 20 percent by 2025.¹

Almond orchards grow the nutritious almonds we eat,² as well as hulls, shells, and trees. So when we say zero waste, we mean using everything we grow to make the world a better place.

While honey bees are only in our orchards for two months of the year, we work to support their health for all twelve.

1973. That’s when our sustainability journey started. A journey dedicated to growing one of the healthiest foods on the planet in the most responsible way possible – for our families, communities, and the planet.

Ninety percent of California’s 7,600 almond farms are family farms,³ many owned and operated by third- and fourth-generation farmers who live on the land and plan to pass it down to their children and grandchildren.

California's ideal climate and culture of innovation make it the most productive almond-growing region in the world. What's more, our almond trees capture and store greenhouse gases while producing oxygen and filtering the air.

Producing 80 percent of the world's supply of almonds,⁴ California’s almond farmers and processors generate 110,000 jobs statewide and adds $9.2 billion to California's economy.⁵
