BOXTED WET WALNUTS

THE 2023 SEASON IS NOW OVER!
Thanks to everyone who ordered online and bought direct from the Farm Shop.
Fingers crossed for a good growing season in the year ahead!

Boxted Wet Walnuts are a nutrition packed local delicacy available for just couple of weeks of the year. Formerly gracing the tables of Buckingham Palace & the London Clubs we are working to bring this historic orchard back into production.

Softer, plumper and milkier than their dried Christmas counterparts, they are perfect for baking, snacking and cooking or as an accompaniment to a glass of wine and a slice of fine cheese.

We have closed orders for 2023.

In season, the nuts are available direct from the farm shop and to order online for home delivery across the UK.

Our nuts are shipped in plastic-free reusable organic cotton produce bags. None of those nasty orange mesh bags for us!

The Boxted Walnut Orchard

A rare and picturesque example of an early twentieth century walnut orchard, the walnut trees were planted in 1935 and include East Anglian varieties such as Champion of Ixworth, Stutton, Bardwell and Stowlangtoft. 

The site is the only remaining example of a 1927 project to rejuvenate English walnut growing and the landowner is working with the RHS to bring the walnuts back into production and preserve this important orchard for future generations. 

At the height of their popularity, wet walnuts were an Edwardian epicurian delight with Boxted Walnuts sold at Fortnum & Mason and gracing the tables of Buckingham Palace and the London clubs, where polished nuts were served with a glass of port after dinner.  We are delighted to be involved in the regeneration of this historic local delicacy.
