Grown at our orchard near Maidstone, Kent
We are able to bring to market a suite of 8 different varieties to showcase the breadth of growing habit and flavour across the walnut family. This site is a wonderful opportunity to put agroforestry into practice here in the UK.

From tree to table
The stages of walnut growth:
May - flowering, here the nuts are most vulnerable to frost, which can often destroy crops. One of the reasons walnuts aren’t more widely planted.
July - the fresh green nuts used for pickling before the hard outer shell forms
October - the harvest begins as the hulls begin to crack. Pick, dehull, wash, dry, ready!
