What season/harvest of Raw Organic Walnuts are you currently shipping?

We’re excited to share that our 2024 Fall Harvest is now available for preorder! Feel free to order as many of our fresh, delicious, Raw Organic Walnuts and provisions as you'd like once preorders begin. This upcoming harvest occurs in Ocotber, with shipping starting in December.

Tip: We sell out of our seasonal walnuts yearly, so we recommend ordering enough to last a few months - or even the entire year!

 

Why do I have to "pre-order" CORKY'S NUTS 2024 Harvest of Raw Organic Walnuts?

Our Raw Organic Walnuts are grown in Northern California, and we harvest them every October. By pre-ordering, you’re essentially reserving your walnuts while they're still growing on the trees. Think of it like a "walnut Kickstarter." Cool, right?

Our mission is simple: we want you to enjoy the freshest, most flavorful organic walnuts possible. So once they're harvested, cracked, and hand-packed beginning in December, we ship them directly to you. We're just as excited as you are!

   

Can I purchase more CORKY'S NUTS Raw Organic Walnuts during the year or when I run out? 

Once we sell out of our 2024 harvest, that's it until next year. We recommend getting enough to last until our 2025 harvest in the fall to keep enjoying that fresh walnut goodness.

By offering our walnuts seasonally, you’re getting the freshest experience possible - walnuts straight off the trees!

 

Do you sell gift cards?

Why, yes we do! You can purchase gift cards in any amount right HERE. They make great gifts for the walnut lovers in your life!

 

How will I know when my CORKY'S NUTS order has shipped?

You’ll get an email with tracking info once your order is processed and shipped.

If you pre-ordered an item with a release date, expect to receive shipping confirmation within 1-2 weeks from that date. For orders with no release date, we typically ship within 1-3 business days, unless otherwise noted on the product page.

Pro Tip: If you’re ordering pre-order and non-preorder items, everything will ship simultaneously - after the pre-order release date. If you need something sooner, it’s best to place a separate order.

 

How does shipping work for Pre-Order items?

To reduce our environmental impact, we we bundle everything into a single shipment to streamline our process and keep shipping affordable. If your order includes any pre-order items, the entire order will ship once the pre-order item/s becomes available.

This means that any in-stock items in the same order will be held until the pre-order item is ready to ship. Rest assured, once your pre-order item is ready, your order will be shipped promptly. If you need any in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing a separate order.

  

What is the difference between a HARTLEY and a CHANDLER walnut?

Great question! Here’s the scoop:

  • Hartley: This one’s Corky's favorite because of its rich, nutty flavor. It tends to be a bit darker and comes with a mix of smaller pieces in each bag.

  • Chandler: Lighter in flavor and color, Chandler walnuts break into larger halves and pieces. They have a milder taste, making them great for first-timers!

Both varieties are perfect for baking, decorating pastries, or eating straight from the bag. Plus, they share that smooth, buttery finish we’re known for.

 

When are the Raw Organic Pecans in season and available? 

Our upcoming 2025 Winter Harvest will be available for preorder in early 2025 and is estimated to ship in April.

 

Why are CORKY'S NUTS Raw Organic Walnuts seasonal and offered not year-round?

When our current harvest sells out, that's it until the next harvest. So stock up if you don't want to run out!

We’re all about giving you the freshest organic walnuts. That means shipping them directly after our annual fall harvest. A walnut enjoyed straight off the tree tastes entirely different from most walnuts you may be familiar with.

Many store-bought walnuts are up to 3 years old by the time you eat them, which affects their flavor. Old walnuts often have a distinct bitter and tart aftertaste. Gone are the days where you have to worry about biting into a yucky walnut.

Our fresh, organic walnuts taste creamy, buttery, and smooth - no bitterness, just pure walnut goodness.

How do I store CORKY'S NUTS fresh nut provisions?

Our seasonal, Raw Organic Walnuts should be kept sealed and in cold storage as the oils are fragile. Sunlight and warm temperatures will alter the oils, which can quickly affect the taste and quality of the meat. Walnuts can also be placed in the fridge for up to 6 months and freezer for up to a year. 

To maintain the freshness and quality of your nuts, be sure to always keep them sealed and at a temperature between 33 and 41F. 

Our Cold Pressed Organic Walnut Oil, Raw Organic Walnut Butter & Raw Organic Walnut Meal should ALWAYS be kept sealed and in the fridge to maintain freshness at all times. If you are enjoying these products quite quickly (within 2-3 weeks), they can be left out.
