ORCHARD: Approximately 30 acres were planted to Livermore also known as Red Walnuts in 2016. In the spring of 2015 the owner prepared the soil by excavation of each tree hole for the planting of paradox seedlings and the paradox seedlings were grafted to Livermore in the spring of 2016. Approximately 40 acres are older Serr and Vina varieties. The sellers plan was to utilize the income off of the Serr and Vinas until the Livermore’s came into production.

• Red Walnuts
  • The “Red Walnut” also know as a Livermore walnut was developed in 1991 at the University of California, Davis. Scientists at the university obtained a rate cultivar of walnut from the French National Institute of Agricultural Research Collection. Through a controlled pollination experiment with a standard walnut cultivar, the Livermore Red Walnut was created. Since there are limited amounts of producing Red Walnut trees these rare walnuts are currently available in select high end stores, farmers markets, and online.

WATER: The entire orchard is supplied with two separate wells with turbine type gear hands and 20 hp electric motors.
