Simple Mills, Daily Harvest, and Cappello's partner to revolutionize California almond farming
Simple Mills, Daily Harvest, and Cappello’s have announced The Almond Project, a multi-year, farmer-led partnership to make almond farming more sustainable by implementing and evaluating the outcome of regenerative soil health principles. The program will leverage the expertise of third-generation growers at Treehouse California Almonds to lead soil health research in California’s Central Valley that will help pave the way towards a more prosperous, resilient future for almonds.
The climate crisis poses a dire threat to almonds and the people who grow them, especially in California, which supplies 80 percent of the world's almonds. Mounting evidence suggests that soil health is key to the long-term viability of all food crops, but practical research remains sparse and the financial risk of adopting these practices often falls solely on farmers.
