Introducing Darn Nice Nuts, LLC

Owner Darryl Wood is particularly interested in native New York hardwoods and has planted several thousand in Norwich, NY. Getting more involved in black walnut, a native tree, is an extension of this interest and reflects his belief that black walnut trees can provide more than just a superior lumber product.

Owner Darryl Wood and recently planted black walnuts

Darryl is a black walnut tree grower and thinks that the utility of black walnuts may extend beyond even lumber, nuts and nutshell products. In the near-term, he is interested in testing nocino, a liqueur that can be made from immature Black Walnuts, as well as tapping black walnuts trees for syrup in a manner similar to maple syrup. He is open to potential partnerships and can be reached through the Darn Nice Nuts Facebook page and by emailing DarnNiceNuts@gmail.com.
