Blue Diamond Keeps Some Sacramento Almond Jobs
9 Apr
Summary
- Part of Blue Diamond's Sacramento facility will remain operational.
- Approximately 90 jobs will be available at the site.
- The National Register of Historic Places building is on campus.
Blue Diamond has announced that a portion of its Sacramento processing facility will continue to operate, despite previous plans for a full closure. The company confirmed that some in-shell almond processing will persist at the 16th and C Street campus.
This partial operation will create approximately 90 job opportunities. Blue Diamond is encouraging its existing Sacramento employees to apply for these roles. The decision to retain these specific operations in Sacramento is described as the most practical and least disruptive choice during the ongoing transition.
The broader closure of the Sacramento plant is still proceeding as planned, with operations shifting to Blue Diamond's Turlock and Salida facilities. This shift was originally announced in June 2025 and was expected to impact around 600 workers. The Sacramento campus features a building recognized for its historical significance, having been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
