Organically Grown Raw Macadamia Nuts - $15.00/lb Out of stock until 2010 harvest.....Oct/November
We are absolutely thrilled to have found our macadamia nut farmer. He takes macadamias very seriously and realizes the importance of drying at ambient temperatures to preserve enzymes. Grown with compost and water only. These are shelled and have been dried at ambient temperatures and are very fresh! We order in small quantities from the farmer and he cracks them to order. These have not been frozen, however the farmer tells us that freezing is just fine. Minimize exposure to moisture (condensation) and air to maintain freshness. If you decide to freeze or refrigerate them, take care upon thawing as condensation develpment can lead to rancidity. Use within a week after taking out of the freezer. Note: As this farmer is a small producer using manual methods for cracking and sorting, some nuts are not dried uniformally. This results in some nuts being harder than others and some being chewier. Gluten Free. See Raw Recipes for suggestions. We also have pieces available. Let us know if you are interested.
Organically Grown Raw Pecans - $10.00/lb Out of stock until November 2010 harvest

Certified Organic Raw Pecans (in-shell) - $6.50/lb 
Out of stock until November 2010 harvest Most organic pecans are washed in chlorinated water and dried with heat to remove excess moisture. These are California-grown and have been washed in well-water and have been air-dried only. No heat used. Note: These are in-shell pecans. We include the shelled pecans in the picture to show how light in color these are. The reason you see darker ones other places is because they have been subjected to heat. Since these were hand-hulled, some of the shells still have some of the greenish hull dust residue still on them. This does not affect the nut at all. We recommend washing the shells off prior to cracking. If not cracking immediately, we recommend storing in an open container to allow the nuts to continue to dry.
Wildcrafted Domestic Raw Jumbo Pine Nuts (in-shell) - $15.00/lb Out of stock until Fall 2010
We had never tried pine nuts before because all of the ones we had found were either rancid in bulk bins or from China. We could not believe how fantastic these are! Sweet with a deep flavor. These are domestically grown and are still in the shell. No heat used during processing. These are the soft-shell variety and are easy to shell with your hands (no tools needed!), however they will take a bit of time to shell. Makes excellent pesto with just basil and garlic. See Raw Recipes for suggestions. If you prefer to soak nuts prior to eating them, we recommend soaking these while still shelled as the taste fades considerably if you soak them after removing the shell. Our pine nuts are fresh and have not been dried, so they still retain moisture. Therefore, you would want to crack as you use them or crack and put them in the freezer if you aren't going to use them right away. Then, when you take them out of the freezer, use them within a day or so. Gluten Free. Very Limited Supply.

Certified Organic Raw English Walnuts - $10.00/lb Out of stock until November 2010 harvest These walnuts are rich and sweet-tasting and have been air-dried naturally before being cracked in small batches to maintain freshness. Currently, we have the Chandler variety, mostly halves. Shelled by hand. Most walnuts are dried at high heats to remove excess moisture. These have not been frozen and have been kept under refrigeration since shelled. Keep refrigerated to maintain freshness. Refrigeration is best to maintain the integrity of the nut. If you need to freeze them, use soon after thawing. Caution: may contain shell pieces. We pack all of our foods as securely as possible, but due to shifting that might occur, there might be some walnut powder resulting. Gluten Free. See Raw Recipes for suggestions. Due to limited supply, we are not able to offer quantity discounts at this time.
