Due to a fluke mistake with my Uncle's walnuts at the processor, we have learned we that will not have any of his shelled 2024 crop to sell this year. At this time, we do not plan to offer anyone else's shelled walnuts as we cannot verify consistent quality and growing practices the way our customers expect. We have a little cold stored 2023 crop available, which still tastes fresher than what is typically available in the grocery stores this time of year. Lord willing we plan to have 2025 shelled crop late November/Early December 2025. We have enough to supply our existing stores and customers through the holiday rush, but will likely sell out online and do our last shelf stocking around late January.

Product Details
5lb of Premium Chandler Light Halves and Pieces from our freshest available shelled crop. These are just the walnut meats, and superior to the vast majority of other walnut products available for purchase by retailers. They are packed in a direct to consumer re-sealable heat sealed bag (like the kind typically sold in grocery stores).
Walnut Quality Notes
These walnuts are expected to be at 80+% USDA light grade (premium grade) on average, with at least 95% of the meats being light or light amber. This is a much more premium quality that what is typically available in standard consumer packaged products in the stores. The size of pieces is expected to be a minimum of 20% halves with a target of 70% being pieces between 1 and 1/2 inch screen size and less than 5% being pieces smaller than 1/8 inch screen size. These larger pieces promote better storage potential due to less oxidation opportunities. In terms of color and size, this product is well suited to being used in any cooking, baking, or fresh eating application. It would be similar in size and color to a premium bagged walnut product you might find in an upper scale grocery/supply store.
About Chandler Walnuts and The Designation "Light"
The Chandler variety is noted for its popular, mild flavor and excellent appearance/texture. It is considered a premium variety for baking and fresh eating. The DFA grade "light" is considered the best walnut meat quality designation, which is why we specifically sell Chandler light halves and pieces.
Bulk Walnut Storage
For long term consumer storage, walnuts should be refrigerated at 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit (normal consumer fridge temperature) and protected from light to preserve maximum product quality throughout the year.
