Blue Diamond Growers

Blue Diamond Growers is a century-old agricultural cooperative headquartered in Sacramento, California, representing approximately 3,000 almond grower families. The company functions as both a grower-owned cooperative and a global consumer packaged goods organization, processing and distributing almond products to over 100 countries. Its operations include specialized facilities like the Almond Innovation Center, which focuses on research and development, and advanced processing plants that adhere to rigorous food safety and sustainability standards. By leveraging cooperative strength, Blue Diamond manages a vertically integrated supply chain, from orchard-level farming practices to global marketing, sales, and manufacturing of snack nuts and non-dairy beverages.

This structure allows Blue Diamond to maximize returns for its grower-members while maintaining a leadership position in the global snack nut and plant-based beverage markets. The cooperative addresses the needs of consumers and industry partners by providing high-quality ingredients and branded retail products, including its well-known Almond Breeze line. Through strategic partnerships, continuous innovation in flavors and packaging, and a commitment to sustainable farming, Blue Diamond solves the challenge of connecting local agricultural producers to a massive international market, ensuring both food quality and long-term viability for the families that form the core of the cooperative.
