Experience Almond Joy at Spring Valley Farmers Market

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

If you feel like it's one of those times that you do, head out to the Spring Valley Farmers Market on Tuesday and pick up some fresh almonds from Hopkins AG, an almond farm in Kern County, Calif.

Since 1978, Hopkins has been a family-owned and operated almond farm, which currently stands at more than 2,000 acres. The company has booths at farmers markets all over San Diego County, including Spring Valley. They also operate a commercial kitchen in Chula Vista.

They feature eight different flavors of almonds: raw, raw (in-shell) honey cinnamon, honey vanilla (which I tried and are amazing!), Mexican chocolate, lime and sea salt, chipotle spicy, and dry roasted.

They offer cups by the pound ($9-12, depending on variety) or by the half-pound ($5-7, depending on variety).

They also feature three different flavors of almond butter, including fresh raw, roasted, and roasted with honey.

Stop by and say hello to Kelly, who runs the Hopkins AG booth, and get your almond fix on today.
