Red Diamond is building a new campus in Moody, Alabama. They expect to occupy the new buildings in January, 2009. In June, 2007, the St. Clair County Commission approved a $1.5 million loan to prepare the site for construction. The move to St. Clair came after 100 years in Birmingham. Company officials were angered that Jefferson County, Alabama officials would not cooperate with plans to expand facilities. The expansion plans would increase employment from 160 to 200 people according to company officials.
Red Diamond Tea is currently distributed by Prairie Farms (Prairie Farms, Hiland Dairy, and Roberts Dairy).

“But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax—
And do everything!”

“Every time an ashtray is missing from a hotel, they don’t come looking for you. But let a diamond bracelet disappear in France and they shout John Robie, the Cat. You don’t have to spend every day of your life proving your honesty, but I do.”
—John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
