Walnut Quality Notes

These walnuts are expected to be at 80+% USDA light 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 product this year seems to be mostly halves (not officially DFA graded on sizing this year, but above 20% guaranteed, probably closer to 30%), 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. In short, larger pieces than you buy in the grocery store. 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 grow and 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.

We have fresh 2024 crop IN SHELL walnuts! However, due to a fluke mistake my Uncle's walnuts were mistakenly sold to a wholesale buyer at the processor that shells our walnuts. That means I will not have any 2024 crop light halves and pieces to sell this year. 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. 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. Lord willing we plan to have 2025 shelled crop late November/Early December 2025. Thank you so much to those of you who have supported the business, and we hope to continue earning your business.
