Loads of hickory nuts!


We have lots of Shagbark Hickory trees on the property and realized this year that they produce tons of amazing nuts…….however getting the nuts is a long hard process. They start out like a small tennis ball like the top pic, you remove the green husk before the squirrels get them, dry them for at least two weeks, then figure out how to get the nuts out without losing your mind! We've found that a hammer and the right size of flat rock works better than a traditional nut cracker. Well worth it!
