Our 57 acre walnut farm has over 1,000 walnut trees. The trees in our orchards are planted as far as 50’ apart and we’re aloud to grow massive. Our home orchard is located in Big Valley on Highland Springs and the Kelseyville orchards sit on Mt. Konocti. The Konocti orchards were planted as early as 1916 and the home orchard was planted in 1926 by Poe/Hendricks. The orchards have been dry farmed for nearly 100 yrs. All hand picked, we farm one of the last remaining Poe walnut orchards on earth.

We have expanded our farm featuring fresh produce and plant starts, find us at Lake County Farmers Markets or email about available produce!
