Hazelnut Farmers
Hazelnut farmers cultivate hazelnuts, a popular nut known for its rich flavor and nutritional benefits. These farmers typically grow hazelnut trees in regions with suitable climates, such as parts of Turkey, Italy, and the United States. The farming process involves planting, nurturing, and harvesting the nuts, which usually occurs in late summer to early fall.
In addition to growing the nuts, hazelnut farmers must manage pests and diseases that can affect their crops. They often use sustainable practices to maintain soil health and promote biodiversity. The harvested hazelnuts are then processed for various uses, including snacks, spreads, and baking ingredients.
