Meet Your Partners
Your Blue Diamond Growers Member Relations Department is a diverse group of individuals with backgrounds deeply rooted in California’s agricultural community. Our team is committed to helping our Grower Owners earn the highest possible returns and crop quality by providing technical knowledge and resources about varietal characteristics, market conditions, stewardship, and other factors that influence crop production and markets. Built on a foundation of integrity, honesty and trust, our Regional Managers are the liaison between our growers and Blue Diamond’s management, providing insight into the cooperative’s operations and conveying questions and information.
