Once the Almonds have been harvested, they are transported to one of several receiving stations located up and down the Central Valley. (Between Chico and Fresno.) Deliveries begin in early August and are received in either bulk or in very large wooden boxes.
As the Almonds are received, they are weighed and information is collected regarding the source Grower and the variety of the Almond. Quality testing is also performed to establish the quality level of the received product.
Almonds are then stored in bulk by variety. The Almonds are eventually loaded on trucks and transported to Blue Diamond Growers in Sacramento or Salida for further processing and sales.
