California Grown Almonds
In September 2017 Jane Cottrell and Melanie Callahan began discussing possible business opportunities that would allow them the freedom to work for themselves. Through a combined love of cannabis, delicious food, and a growing passion to create something in a booming, yet still emerging industry, Funny Nuts was born.
​
Each and every Funny Nut almond is grown and harvested in San Joaquin County, California, the almond capitol of the world! Nuts from this region are tended to with extra care and an expert hand, and have set the bar high in terms of quality and superior taste.
​
Each almond is plucked from the trees on Jane's family's almond orchard, which has been in her family for 3 generations. The nuts are then cleaned, sorted, and transported to the Sweet Blossom Co-Op in Santa Cruz to be roasted in one of four specialty flavor blends, all infused with high quality THC distillate.

Why California Almonds Are The Best in The World
“Did you know that California produces more than 80% of the world’s almonds?”
Central Valley is truly the best place to grow almonds. Not just the soil; even the weather is very conducive for the growth of almonds. While the chill of the winter increases the productivity of the almond trees, the spring ensures all the blooms get pollinated by millions of bees that visit these orchards.
The soil is alluvial, which is very fertile and rich in nutrients. The melting snow of the Sierras provides the required water for these orchards. There is a marvelous system of canals in place to bring this water from the mountains.​
The sweetness in their taste and the richness in their flavor have a lot to do with the place they are grown in and the methods that are used to make them grow. They are grown in a place called Central Valley, which was an inland sea, once upon a time. It has the towering Sierras to its east and the coastal mountain range to its west.
​
​For years now, California farmers have been discovering new methods of growing almonds to improve their productivity and quality. The high yield and productivity that they achieve have caused these California Almonds to reach every part of the world at affordable prices. Califoria almonds are rich in nutrients such as phytochemicals, Vitamin E and Omega 3, an are An abundant source of energy.
