Walnut Growers
Walnut growers are farmers who cultivate walnut trees for their nuts, which are popular for their taste and health benefits. These growers typically plant English walnuts or black walnuts, depending on the region and market demand. The trees require specific climates, well-drained soil, and proper care to thrive and produce high-quality nuts.
Harvesting walnuts usually occurs in late summer to early fall when the nuts are ripe. After harvesting, the nuts are processed to remove their outer husks and dried for storage. Walnut growers play a vital role in the agricultural industry, contributing to both local economies and global markets.
