Blue Diamond Careers

Our Culture, Our Values

Meet members of the Blue Diamond team video

The power of partnership.

Our original 230 California almond growers pooled their resources and formed a cooperative to benefit growers — an agricultural innovation of the time. Today, Blue Diamond Growers represents more than 3,000 California almond growers — the state that provides over 80% of the world’s almond supply. We are one of the most recognized food brands in the world, with annual sales exceeding $1 billion.

After more than 100 years, our culture continues to reflect our five core values: Act with Integrity, Work as Partners, Deliver Quality Everyday, Innovate! and Play to Win.

  • Building strong relationships with our growers and with our customers;
  • Communicating directly and honestly; and
  • Working as a team to realize the best return on our growers’ investment.

Our growers are a part of our family. Michael Doherty is a third generation Blue Diamond Almond grower and his commitment to his craft was passed down to him from his father and grandfather and he hopes to instill the same value and respect for the land in his own kids. The care and commitment of growers like him are what help keep the quality of Almond Breeze. Listen to Michael here:

You’ll find these values at work throughout our company. We strive for a diverse workforce, always aiming for greater levels of inclusion. We are proud that so many of our growers use sustainable environmental practices like open-space and wildlife-preservation, water conservation, and integrated pest management programs.
