That's a wrap for us. Almond season 2026 is done, and it's time to move on to the next adventure, but we will be back next year as we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Man of the Van and I both operated sweepers coming along behind the shaker (harvester) and sweeping the nuts into rows for the conditioner to sort the rubbish out, then for the pickups to scoop the nuts from the ground, load into bankouts (like small side toppers), and then off to the stockpile to be trucked off site. Some interesting facts are did you know that they graft almond trees to peach trees because the peach tree has a bigger, more efficient stable root system? In low-lying areas of the farm where it may get a little too wet, they have stands of gums, as our majestic natives suck up the excess moisture. After working the harvest, I will never complain about the price of nuts again, as it is an extremely labor-intensive harvest.

We have been very quiet for the last few weeks and will be for a while yet. Currently working The Almond Harvest then no rest for the wicked straight into our favourite job The 🫒 Olive Harvest. There is a big change in the van and some more exciting things to happen towards the middle of the year. The newest addition to our home on wheels is Teddy 🧸. Afghan puppy so now we have Merlin Afghan and the elder statesman Boris the Borzoi, and the girls. To say it is a loud happy van is an understatement
