It was during my search for truly raw, unpasteurized almonds that I came across a link to Briden Wilson Farm. According to their website (www.homegrownalmonds.com), they are “a family owned and operated almond farm in the north-central valley of California.” The real deal-breaker, however, was the price. Get this: the raw almonds are about $8 per pound—and right now you can get free shipping on all orders over $20! That is really, really good for raw, unpasteurized almonds. In fact, it’s the best I could find anywhere. And, no, they did not pay me or bribe me to do this review. It’s just one shopper to another. : )I don’t do a lot of business over the Internet (except from Amazon and bigger retailers like that) so I was a little nervous that they would just run away with the credit card number or something—you know, all those hoaxes you hear about. Thankfully, no such thing happened. I promptly received an order confirmation and not to long after—yesterday, in fact—my box of lovely almonds came in the mail complete with a handwritten note.
But that’s not all! Today I received a lovely Christmas e-card from them, which included a picture of their five adorable kids. This was part of the message:
What did I say? I’m a sucker for the sentimental little touches! Cool, too, that they are Christians.
My order
I think I just found my favorite place to buy almonds!!!

Good deal. I buy mine from NaturalZing and get hand written notes, as well. I just happen to be friends with the owners. They are so genuine; some of the nicest people you'll meet.
Thank you, Nadine! You are very kind. I too love the connection aspect of blogging. In fact, that is why I do it!
Do you have a site? I would love to visit! Best of luck on your journey to health.

That's great Audrey! I need to figure out a bit more on following blogs - I'll definitely be following yours. I'm inspired by you, and am so very grateful that you shared this info. I made sure that The folks at Briden Wilson Farm knew that it was due to your wonderful review that I found them. They are just amazing! I can't wait to get the almonds... It is very difficult to find the unpasteurized ones.
I think I'm going to learn a lot from your blog! Thanks so much for your efforts!
:) Warmly,
Kath

Briden Wilson Farms Almonds are NOT organic. To me (and many others) that defeats the purpose of buying them. I usually buy them from DimondHealth.
