Same orchard, six ways
All Natural
Our everyday almond. Whole, skin on, unsalted. The one most people start with.
Roasted Salted
Roasted and salted on the farm. The one that disappears fastest.
Roasted Diced
Roasted, then diced. For baking, salads and anything that wants texture.
Blanched
Skins removed, nothing else changed. For baking, flour and a cleaner finish.
Truly Raw
Never heat treated — these will still sprout. Farm direct only, limited each season.
Almond Butter
One ingredient: our own roasted almonds. The first Regenerative Organic Certified® almond butter.
Grown for the soil, not the yield
Most almonds are pooled from dozens of farms, trucked to a central handler and treated before they reach a shelf. Nobody can tell you which orchard they came from, because nobody knows.
Ours come off our own trees. We keep the orchard floor planted and run sheep through it. It is more work than spraying, and it is why the ground here keeps getting better rather than thinner.
Whichever you buy — raw, roasted, diced or blanched — it is the same orchard and the same family behind it.
Not all raw almonds are raw
Almonds sold through shops in the US have to be treated before they get there. The question is how, and whether anyone can tell you where they were grown.
-
Conventional
Gassed with propylene oxide
Treated with propylene oxide (PPO) gas after harvest. Pooled from many farms, so the orchard of origin is unknown.
-
USDA Organic
Steam pasteurized, still pooled
No fumigant, which matters. But still gathered from many growers and handled centrally, so traceability stops at the bag.

Estate grown, and we can name the orchard
Never gassed. Steam pasteurized where US law requires it, then packed by hand here on the farm. Regenerative Organic Certified®. This is All Natural, roasted, diced and blanched.
-
Truly RawShop Truly Raw
Never heat treated at all
Sold only direct from the farm, which is the one exemption that allows it. Never pasteurized, never gassed — these almonds will still sprout.
If you specifically want almonds that have never been heat treated, that is Truly Raw, and it is only available direct from us.
Audited, not asserted
Regenerative Organic Certified®
The highest bar in organic farming. Soil health, animal welfare and farmer fairness, audited together — and the certification we were first in the world to earn on an almond orchard.
Regenified
Measures whether the land is actually improving — soil cover, biodiversity, water cycling — checked on the farm every year.
USDA Organic
No synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
We were the first Regenerative Organic Certified® almond farm in the world.
You can ask the people who grew them
Ward and Rosie Burroughs, and their daughter Benina Montes, who runs the farm today. Five generations on the same ground since 1894.
The people who chose to plant the cover crop, put the sheep in and give up the sprays are the same people packing the bag.
Rated 4.9 across 500+ reviews
I have been ordering these for two years now. You can taste the difference against anything in a shop, and I like knowing exactly where they came from.
Fresh, creamy, and they arrive quickly. I buy the 3 lb bag and it lasts our family about a month.
You can tell these were packed by people rather than a machine somewhere. The quality has been consistent every single order.
Before you order
Which one should I buy?
All Natural is the everyday almond and where most people start. Roasted Salted is the snacking one. Roasted Diced is for baking and salads. Blanched has the skins removed for a cleaner finish. Truly Raw is the only one never heat treated, and it is limited.
Are these raw?
Our All Natural, roasted and blanched almonds are steam pasteurized, which US law requires for almonds sold through distribution. They are never treated with fumigant gas. If you want almonds that have never been heat treated at all, that is our Truly Raw, available only direct from the farm.
What is Regenerative Organic Certified®?
It is the highest standard in organic farming. Where USDA Organic tells you what a farm does not use, Regenerative Organic Certified® audits three things together: whether the soil is measurably improving, how the animals are treated, and whether the people working here are treated fairly. We were the first almond farm in the world to earn it.
How should I store them?
We keep ours in the freezer. The oils stay live and they taste the way they did the day they were packed. A sealed cupboard is fine for a few weeks.
