HARVESTING

walnut harvesting process

OUR HARVESTING PROCESS

Walnut harvesting is timed to align with full maturity and optimal kernel development. Our harvesting process prioritises quality outcomes, careful handling, and preparation for drying and storage. 

This approach supports consistency, traceability, and dependable supply for wholesale buyers.

HARVEST

Walnuts on our farm are harvested in shell at full maturity, supporting optimal kernel development and flavour. 

Harvest timing is carefully managed to: 

  • Maximise walnut kernel quality 
  • Support long term storage stability 
  • Ensure suitability for commercial drying and handling 
  • Align with seasonal conditions and orchard performance 


This approach ensures walnuts enter the supply chain in optimal condition for drying, storage, and further processing by wholesale buyers. 

DRYING

Following our walnut harvesting process, walnuts are transported off site to a commercial drying facility. 

Drying is undertaken to: 

  • Stabilise moisture content 
  • Protect kernel integrity 
  • Support safe storage and transport 
  • Maintain quality through extended supply chains 


Once drying is complete, walnuts are returned to the farm for final preparation and bagging.  At this stage our wholesale partners  know the final tonnage available to purchase.

WHOLESALE

After drying, walnuts are bagged in standard commercial formats. 

Bagging is selected to align with: 

  • Established handling practices 
  • Storage and warehousing requirements 
  • Efficient freight and export logistics 
  • Downstream processing operations 


All walnuts are supplied in shell, unprocessed and prepared specifically for wholesale markets.

TRACEABILITY

Our post harvest handling process is designed to protect product quality. 

By working with established drying partners, we ensure: 

  • Consistent handling standards 
  • Clear product traceability 
  • Reduced handling risk 
  • Reliable outcomes for wholesale buyers 


This model supports both sustainable farm operations and dependable commercial supply.

All product is intended for: 

  • Downstream processing
