Hazelnut Growers
Hazelnut Growers are farmers who cultivate hazelnuts, a popular nut known for its rich flavor and nutritional benefits. These growers typically plant hazelnut trees, which thrive in temperate climates and require well-drained soil. The trees take several years to mature and produce nuts, making hazelnut farming a long-term investment.
Harvesting usually occurs in late summer to early fall when the nuts fall from the trees. After collection, the nuts are processed and sold for various uses, including snacks, baking, and hazelnut oil. The demand for hazelnuts has increased due to their use in products like Nutella and gourmet chocolates.
