We have a small surplus of large Meylanaise bare-root trees available this winter. We sourced some 200-250cm trees from France for our orchards and have some surplus, some are actually closer to 350cm.
Please contact us if you are interested, collection only.
This June we started installing a new washing line for walnuts from AMB Rousset in France. As it had to fit into a specific part of the old barns and link to the existing drier set-up a bit of creative thinking was needed to come up with a layout that worked, we still had to move the drier though which was fun.
The new set-up can handle 2 Tonnes per hour although we’re unlikely to need to do it that fast. Due to our harvesting methods at the moment we end up with a lot of husk both on and with the harvested nuts so we have to wash a bit more slowly, the new washer dehusks and washes and we also have a stick separator in the line to remove the larger rubbish.
As we progress to self-propelled harvesting system we’ll get more sticks and much less loose husk which will speed things up, the cleanest batch we did this year went through at easily a tonne per hour.
