Eternal Harvest

Throughout history, almonds have traversed continents and left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human history. Originating in the ancient lands of the Fertile Crescent, encompassing regions such as Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, eastern Turkey, and Iraq, these prized nuts were foraged in the wild over 10,000 years ago. They were among the first plants to be domesticated, dating back to the third millennium BC in what is now Jordan. Almonds played a significant role in ancient cultures, as evidenced by their mention in Greek mythology and biblical accounts, with the Book of Numbers recounting Aaron's rod that blossomed and bore almonds.

The influence of almonds extended far and wide, reaching the height of its significance in ancient Rome. Newlyweds were showered with almonds as symbols of fertility and good fortune, mirroring the modern-day tradition of giving sugared almonds in North America.

During the period of 600 to 900 AD, almond trees flourished in regions like Spain, Morocco, Greece, and Israel. Their abundant harvests sustained explorers journeying along the legendary Silk Road, a route that spanned vast distances to connect civilizations. The introduction of almonds along the Silk Road brought forth a remarkable fusion of traditions and knowledge. The Chinese embraced these precious nuts, not only importing them but also presenting them as tribute to their revered Emperor.

In the 1700s, the Franciscan padres introduced almond trees from Spain to California, envisioning a future brimming with almond orchards. However, the damp and cool weather of the region initially hindered successful cultivation. It wasn't until the following century that California's almond industry truly took root and blossomed.

Today, the state of California stands as the epicenter of almond production, supplying approximately 80 percent of the world's almond demand. Almonds have become a cornerstone of California's agricultural prowess, ranking as the top agricultural export and the largest tree nut crop in terms of total value and acreage. Their significance extends beyond national borders, as they hold the title of the largest specialty crop export in the United States.
