25.01.2022 Weekend rain again...
25.01.2022 BTW - nuts still ripening. A bit later than expected, but they have to drop sometime:)
20.01.2022 (to be sung to the tune of "london's burning') nuts are falling, nuts are falling go and pick them, go and pick them yum yum! yum yum! tasty nutties, tasty nutties.... Nuts are available directly from us, from Willie Smith organics providore down the Huon, The Elizabeth St Food and Wine Store, Eumarrah and Nutsnmore at Salamanca Market.
18.01.2022 What have we been up to? Mowing, fertilising, mowing some more (spring is the season to be sprouting:), sneezing (oh hay fever!) Pulling suckers off with our bare hands ( my son hates this, he is sure that I am killing baby trees), getting blown away, mowing over stray irrigation lines, fixing irrigation lines (which included a swim in the dam for my husband one cold winter's day), getting bogged while mowing, whipper snippering around trees, laying mulch under trees and pla...nning how to use reclaimed timber to build solar nut driers. In other news, huonvallyites (!) will be able to buy our lovely fresh nuts every day of the week from the new Willie Smith Organic Cider cellar door at the old Apple Museum come February of next year. Hobartians can visit Eumarrah, Elizabeth St Food and wine store or nutsnmore at Salamanca, but only from Feb as we are sold out for this year:) See more
18.01.2022 I made some very yummy brownies the other day. I needed some slice to take and I wanted something easy to make that I could use my ripe apricots in. I googled apricot and chocolate brownie and all the recipes were using dried apricots, which is obviously a different thing to adding some wet ones to the batter. Then I saw a link for adults only brownie, which of course was intriguing. So I clicked it and it said it was adults only because it was very rich, made using excel...lent quality cocoa. SO I used that recipe as a base and made up my own. I reduced the original recipe by 1 egg, half a cup of cocoa and all the butter. The recipe was Excellent. It was soft and light and fluffy and moist, well, light for a brownie. Very chocolatey and you could just taste the apricot. Yum Yum Yum. I also added hazelnuts. They were from last years crop, but fine as we store them in the shell and only crack as needed. So, heat the oven to 170 C non fan forced. Line your pan with cooking paper. A 25cm square one or one with similar surface area. Ingredients: 3 eggs I cup cacao powder (or good quality cocoa) 2 cups brown sugar four very ripe apricots, mashed with a fork. A cup of hazelnuts roughly chopped. Toasted if you like. Definitely shelled () 1/2 cup plain flour. I used freshly ground whole meal flour. I have a wheat grinder. If using white flour you could possible add a bit more flour. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. I do not use butter or any other veg oils. Beat eggs lightly with a fork until nicely scrambled. Mix in sugar and oil and stir. Then add all the other dry ingredients and then cook until firmish. It doesn't matter if skewer comes out slightly sticky. About 40 minutes. Don't over cook or it might become dry. So, with the exception of the sugar this is a lovely healthy recipe. Nuts, apricots, organic cacao powder, wholemeal flour etc. Lots of fibre and anti oxidants! Hope you enjoy it.
18.01.2022 Believe it or not the frost is great for hazelnut production
14.01.2022 So nut harvest officially begins tomorrow. Come and gather your own fresh chemical free Tasmanian Hazelnuts. We will be there between 9- 5. Price is $4 per kg and the address is 433 Glen Huon Rd, the orchard opposite the lawn cemetary ( just before it) If you go past Huon Funerals you have just missed it. Bring a picnic and have a road trip!
14.01.2022 Merry Christmas

12.01.2022 We are going to be at the market at Willie Smith's tomorrow! Very exciting Nuts in and out of shell, De-lish-ous hazelnut dukka, and three varieties of hazelnut hot chocolate drink mix. See you there, or you can order online from our shop.
12.01.2022 Here are some photos of the other stall holder's at The market at Willie Smith's Apple shed. I tried to get all the other stalks, by I got busy!
12.01.2022 So, it is nearly Christmas!! What a great time to cook delicious things. I went looking for some new ideas of what to do with hazelnuts for the festive season and found some good things. Nigella Lawson came up with a choc hazelnut christmas cake last Christmas that sounds pretty wonderful - but quite rich and as she says, embarrassingly easy, but in the festive season that may be a good thing. If you wanted to spend a bit more time and make it a bit less pre packaged, mak...e your own choc hazelnut spread instead of the nutella - there are good recipes out there. But otherwise I do think I will be trying this one:) Nigella's Italian Christmas: Chocolate hazelnut cheesecake Don’t be tempted to let the cheesecake come to room temperature before serving. It slices and eats better with a bit of fridge chill on it. However, you must have both Nutella and cream cheese at room temperature before making it. To simplify your life a little, you can buy the hazelnuts ready chopped and toasted. Cheesecake Serves 8-12 250g l 9oz digestive biscuits 75g l 3oz soft unsalted butter 1 x 400g jar Nutella or equivalent chocolate hazelnut spread, at room temperature 100g l 3 oz chopped toasted hazelnuts 500g l 18oz cream cheese, at room temperature 60g l 2 oz icing sugar, sifted KITCHEN KIT 1 x 22cm-23cm l 8 in-9in springform cake tin Break the biscuits into the bowl of a food processor, then add the butter and 1 x 15ml tablespoon of Nutella and blitz until the mixture starts to clump. Add 25g l 1oz of the toasted hazelnuts, and continue to pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture. Tip this into your springform tin and press it into the base, using either your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill while you get on with the filling. Beat together the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and soft, then patiently scrape the rest of the Nutella out of its jar and into the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until combined. Take the springform tin out of the fridge. Carefully scrape and smooth the Nutella mixture over the biscuit base and scatter the remaining chopped hazelnuts on top to cover. Place the tin in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for best results, unspringing the cake from the tin, still on its base, just before you eat. To cut it, dip a sharp knife in cold water, wiping it and dipping again between each cut. And don’t worry: it may look disappointingly flat when whole, but when sliced, its dark depths are revealed.

12.01.2022 Went to the Italian pantry today (federal st) for Valentines day lunch. The children inhaled enormous amounts of spag bol, and my pasta was lovely but I have to say their hazelnut hot chocolate was supreme!!!! So nice and nutty. They had bags of it for sale and the ingredients were three - cocoa, hazelnuts and maize starch I think. No doubt one also adds sweetner:) So yummy.
