Walnut Hull, Walnut Skin, and Organic Walnuts in their Shells (Certified Organic California Grown)

Recently, we've had requests at Handy Farms from our family for Walnut Hulls or Walnut Skin. This is a layer that surrounds the Walnut Shell. The Hull and the Shell protect the Walnuts. By the time the walnuts are ready, the hulls are dry. This order includes the organic walnuts in their shells. Then it includes the walnut skin or walnut hull that surrounds that.

About The Farm:
Handy Farms is owned and operated by the property’s residents: The Handy Family. Clayton Handy had a dream to create a fully sustainable farm. He dreamed of having his food products free from pesticides, and herbicides, and as nutritionally dense as possible. The result is an agricultural system that preserves the health of the farmer, consumer, and mother nature. 

All products at Handy Farms are grown using a regenerative agriculture system. This means the diverse plant and fungal ecology is planned in such a way that the crop's nutritional needs are met by this underground network. As a result of the dense understory soil organic matter is also building. This improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and pulls carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it acts as a vital building component in plant growth. How is that for reducing carbon footprint?
