Regenerative almond production can help save the planet!
In a 2018-2021 research study, regenerative almond systems were compared with conventional best practices across the Central Valley. The results of this study showed:
  • Regenerative orchards had 30% higher soil organic matter
  • Significantly greater carbon sequestration
  • 6 times higher water infiltration rates
  • 6 times higher insect biomass
  • Measurably greater soil microbial activity
  • Similar yields
  • Increased profits

Join us at the Regenerative Almond Field Day and learn how we achieved these results and experience what a regenerative orchard looks like and how it functions.

This event is free of charge and includes a delicious, locally-sourced lunch!
