2018 Hazelnut Planting

Hazelnuts are in for the year. We planted 40 more acres of hazelnuts this winter, converting more of our pasture ground into orchard ground. It has been a slow transition but I think we are all thankful for that. I have been learning to love the repetition in the work schedule and the satisfaction of seeing all our hard work take shape. I miss working with cattle as often — but like everyone tells me — hazelnut trees don’t break out of their fields — so that’s good. Hazelnuts have been a wonderful addition.
