We collect a lot of nuts. Black Walnuts, Hickory, Chestnuts, many many more. It takes a lot of effort to collect, clean, and dry these nuts appropriately. They can store for incredible lengths of time, but if they get taken by mice or squirrels or get moldy/wet/etc then all that is for naught.
- How we process Black Walnuts to be cleaned from the husk...
We are now storing the bulk of our current collection in a few ways. I share notes on what we're trying that has been working well and a simple idea of how to make storage containers that can double as air prune beds for starting seeds of various crops, so the effort can be multiplied.
A rough estimate would be that we currently have 500-600+ pounds of nuts in storage. There is an incredible amount of food security to be had with a collection like this. We want to preserve them as long as possible!
