Selling Value Added Almonds During COVID-19

Grant Alldrin is with Alldrin Brothers Farming in Stanislaus County. He oversees value added almonds from the family farm. And he noted that the COVID pandemic has really slowed things down at first, but things are picking up a little

“It did slow down, but now it's starting to pick up. So, a lot of companies got hit hard out there and that's who we work with,” said Alldrin. “We work with the mom and pop places and, and people who are just have one location or, or a couple locations with a franchise or something. And yeah, they seem to get hit pretty hard, especially with kids, not really able to go back to school and no one's really out and about or anything,” explained Alldrin.

“It did slow down there for a little bit. It's was a little worrisome, but it seems to be picking up. We got a lot of bakeries and ice cream companies coming back on track and everything's selling in the stores a little better now,” Alldrin said.

Aldrin said his client base is robust.

“We have a lot of clients such as Cold Stone Creamery and Yogurtland and other operations like that. Yogurtland was one of my first customers back when I started about 10 years ago. So, they've been awesome. And it's been great working with them,” he said.
