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.

Product Details
Ships as 8oz packages 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). These smaller sizes are convenient for consumers who like smaller packaging. They can also be a good deal for small shops looking to offer a high value product with small upfront cost to themselves.
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 product this year seems to be mostly 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.
