Nope - but we do grow pistachios.
 
We celebrate the world's only annual Pistachio Festival the first Saturday  
in November every year - arts, crafts, live music, raffles, face painting for 
 
the kids, custom car show (a la Route 66), etc.
 
I have a lot of rather (ahem) meaningless titles here (Executive Director -  
Property Owners) and Vice-President - Chamber of Commerce.
 
I only mention this because of my raging obsession with food!
 
On the Festival agenda, every year, there is a category for pistachio  
recipes...s'pposed to be a cooking contest, but I have to see any 
participants  or 
any awards. Folks just show up (from all over) and walk away with their bags  
of pistachios. Lord knows what they do with them.
 
And I've been wanting for many years to put together a cookbook (for sale)  
to benefit the Chamber...but...where are the participants?
 
I don't know why you asked about almonds (maybe for medical reasons?) but  if 
there's any connection to...gourmet fare <g> please let me know.
