It was great to talk through some of the early wins we have had in these areas and the distinct competitive advantage we have as Blue Diamond Growers . I shared that while everyone has access to the same raw material — the almonds, the same stainless steel — the equipment, they don’t have our history, our brands, our state-of-the-art technologies or our world class facilities. Most importantly, however, it’s our amazing people, culture and legacy that you’ve helped create that really set us apart. I am incredibly proud to lead this amazing team. They are firing on all cylinders, for you, every single day. Between our growers and our employees, we are responsible for around 4,400 families. We take that
responsibility very seriously. We take your almonds very seriously. Anyone who was at the Annual Meeting would have felt the excitement in the room. We are well on our way to building a bigger, better and stronger Blue Diamond. In the coming weeks and months, I hope to talk to more of you about our plans for Growing Together .
Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and your families .
