Today our only crop is pumpkins. We plant several different varieties, beginning in June of each year. In the early years, walnut trees filled the front acreage of our farm and we got our start in this nutty business by growing, processing and selling walnuts. While we no longer grow any nuts, we continue to roast and sell many different types from all over the world in our retail store and other locations.
Bates Nut Farm started with walnuts, but now purchases nuts from all over the world. Pistachios, pecans, cashews, peanuts, pignolias, sunflower seeds and much more can be purchased on the farm. The nuts come raw, roasted, some spiced up and unsalted. To ensure quality and freshness we roast and package our nuts on the farm. The Bates family takes pride in providing a quality product at a fair price. It’s part of the tradition.
