Every Autumn for that last two decades I have spent my weekends gatherning many of these delightful little nuts. People just love walnuts, and puchase these nuts without hesitation. The nuts are organic, holistic, fresh, & hand picked and process from hull to half. Here is a picture of the nuts laying about awaiting my arrival to pick, clean, dry, shell. Already have about 38 lbs worth of nuts to shell and sell. This year there was a late frost that really impacted the crop. I would say we are running on 1/3 of the usual amount we would process in any given season. These are English walnuts, and yes we have some black walnut trees but too hard to process. The squirrels have been a huge problem because they steal and eat the nuts all day every day while I only can get up there on the weekends. As for cracking and shelling the nuts, my sister Isabelle got me this great device that helps me crack away with out too much hassle.
