Fresh Green Almonds

Raw · Unripe · Regeneratively Grown in California

Green Almonds are the tender, unripe stage of the almond we know and love—harvested in late spring (May–June) before the shell hardens and the nut fully matures. At Handy Farms, we grow our green almonds regeneratively in California, using practices that nourish the soil and conserve water.

These young almonds have a citrusy, tart flavor and a soft texture that makes them prized in both traditional recipes and creative kitchen experiments. Often used in herbal brews, tinctures, and infusions, they’re also delicious preserved in honey or syrup, or used to make green almond liqueurs like nocino. In Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, fresh green almonds are sometimes eaten whole (fuzzy skin and all!) dipped in salt or added to spring salads and cheese boards.

Pre-Order Available in April
Green almonds are only harvested during a short seasonal window. We accept pre-orders beginning in April for May and June deliveries. Supplies are limited—order early to secure your harvest.

Storage Tip: For best freshness, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a few days.

About The Farm:

Handy Farms is owned and operated by the property’s residents: The Handy Family. Clayton Handy had a dream to create a fully sustainable farm. He dreamed of having his food products free from pesticides, and herbicides, and as nutritionally dense as possible. The result is an agricultural system that preserves the health of the farmer, consumer, and mother nature. 

All products at Handy Farms are grown using a regenerative agriculture system. This means the diverse plant and fungal ecology is planned in such a way that the crop's nutritional needs are met by this underground network. As a result of the dense understory soil organic matter is also building. This improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and pulls carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it acts as a vital building component in plant growth. How is that for reducing carbon footprint?

The dream would be incomplete if it weren’t for the children’s laughter as they play throughout the orchard and dense vegetation beneath. The vision of Handy Farms includes Family, Nutrition, and Earth. It is truly a labor of love.
