Our jump into nut tree planting commenced this past spring. We put in 4 tree belts over an 8 acre pasture comprising of 1250 trees with a focus on nut production. Chestnuts, filberts / hazelnuts, hickory and almonds trees make up the bulk of the plantings. Time will tell how the design will fair with both food production and livestock rotation underneath. As we enter 2015, we are designing a new parcel to plant Juglan variety type trees (pecans, walnuts, heartnuts, etc). Very excited about the long term productivity potential for this ground.
