Blue Diamond Almond's Retail Store

Description:

• The humble, yet tasty, almond ranks sixth among all exported U.S. foods, and brings Sacramento Valley growers over half a billion dollars a year. More than 4,000 area co-op growers truck their harvests to the historic processing plant in Sacramento. In the lobby of this massive old brick building, you can learn all about the growing, harvesting and processing of almonds. In the gift shop, stand in amazement at how many different ways a single nut can be processed, packaged and, of course, purchased.
