The California Walnut Harvest
Each year, California walnuts undergo a long journey from the trees in the orchard to your kitchen table.
Did you know more than 99% of the walnuts in the United States come straight from California orchards, grown by the many dedicated and hardworking farmers who produce high-quality walnuts every harvest season?
We love harvest season for its resurgence of fresh produce and all the possibilities that it means for our kitchens, but walnuts aren’t the only delicacy being harvested in the fall. From spices to herbs to produce, there’s a world of bounty at your fingertips. Just remember, once you purchase your fresh bag of California walnuts, store them in your freezer to enjoy all year long.
