"To savor walnuts, you must break them open. Remember that in life,
without a little bit of work, there is no pleasure." - Florian
You can find out more about us by visiting our website claryridgeranch.com. Our Walnuts flourish in the choice mountain soil that has been farmed by our pioneer family for over 100 years. Great Grandpa Klare planted primarily Franquette variety walnuts here in Fair Play. They are harvested later here in California's gold country than those grown in the valley.

We harvest GREEN WALNUTS when they are 1 - 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter, anytime from May through July, depending on weather. Check out our website at claryridgeranch.com or our blog for photo updates on our growing season: vindenoix.blogspot.com We sell via our Localharvest storefront, when we have availability. Green Walnuts are "ready" to be harvested during a very short window of time and are hand pcked, much like apples, but from a very large tree.
