harvest days 2023!

Eight-year-old hazelnut bush full of nuts ready for harvest

It’s nuts out here!  

Come help us bring in the harvest and see what’s been going on at the nut farm this year.  It’s our favorite season and we’d love to share it with you!

Please email us with the day/shift and names of people coming!  A potluck lunch will be shared on both Saturday and Sunday.  All ages & experience levels are welcome!  Facilities are rustic.  We recommend wearing good shoes, a hat, and lightweight gloves – the nuts are kinda sticky!  We’ll supply bags for picking and all the nut puns you can handle.

*UPDATES This year we are very excited to be exploring new collaborations with the New York Tree Crop Alliance to process our nuts over the winter.  Read our recent blog post to learn more!  This means that delectable locally-grown hazelnut products may finally become a reality in 2024!  This has been a labor of love for many long years, and we are so grateful to everyone who has been helping and cheering us on all along.

*PLEASE NOTE Hazelnuts are not yet for *sale* (why not?) This year, any pickers who are interested are welcome to take a grab bag of fresh hazelnuts home with them to try your hand at drying, husking, and cracking your own nuts!  Nuts were once the traditional staple foods of the eastern woodlands, and we feel honored to be returning to these roots.  We will lay out some of our small scale processing equipment so you can try your hand at this ancient foodway.

Looking forward to seeing friends, old and new!
