From the ground upHere in Paso Robles, it is not uncommon to hear the saying “Good wine comes from good grapes”. We couldn’t agree more – we know it’s this region’s rich, chalky soils that produce world class grapes and, of course, world class walnuts. That’s why we take great care to use the most minimal growing methods possible and preserve the goods nature gave us. Unlike other nut-growing regions, we strictly dry farm our orchard. That means the trees are never irrigated and live off of nothing but natural rainfall. The trees are left to their own devices and grow to a modest size compared to bigger commercial farms. The absence of water, fertilizers and pesticides means less overall yield each year, but there’s a delicious trade off… Our trees embody the phrase “quality over quantity”. Rather than growing many walnuts at once, our trees have to conserve their resources by packing all the nutrients they can into a smaller crop. The result is a smaller number of intensely flavorful, sweet walnuts. Roughly 40 years in the making, our walnut trees have produced years of delicious, premium nuts with nothing but rain and sunshine. Now, after more than 20 years of selling our walnuts on the wholesale market, we are thrilled to finally share them the way they were meant be: straight from our orchard to you. |
