(Juglans Nigra)
Although grown primarily for it's hardwood, the Black Walnut is a lovely tree. It not only provides shade, but produces a wonderful crop of tasty fruit.
Naturally drought resistent, it's hardy enough for most climates. Also, lovely when used for landscaping.
Our trees grow naturally on our farm. They serve as a source of food for our ever growing herd of squirrels. We enjoy them tremendously, as will you!
We are now offering a limited quantitiy of "green" black walnuts. The green husks are used for medicinal purposes.
Thanks!

Fresh from the family farm. What I don't grow myself, I get from other local farms. Guaranteed fresh and locally grown! If you're in the mood for fresh eggs.....I'm your girl! I breed several varieties of chickens and ducks. I offer eggs from each when available. Always fresh and tasty!
If the store is out, contact the farm.....Sometimes I forget to up-date :)
