The Almond processing cycle is an ongoing partnership between several parties. The life of an Almond begins in the Orchard. As the season progresses, the Almond goes through many changes. From the Orchard the Almond moves through the Receiving Stations ultimately finding a home at Blue Diamond, where it is transformed into one of many Almond based products. Click on the Orchard image on the map to begin your journey through the Almond processing cycle. Or if you prefer, all the images are clickable, and will provide information regarding that particular step in the process.
The above is a representation of the overall Almond Processing Cycle, and is not meant to represent the actual numbers or locations of Orchards or Receiving Stations, etc... There are many Orchards and Receiving Stations located up and down the California Central Valley.
