Black Walnut hulling stations opened on October 1, 2020 and are planned to run through the first week of November, but the end date can vary depending on the timing of the crop. Bring the whole seed to the hullor locations and they will run them through a machine to remove the hulls, then pay based on the hulled weight. Please see https://black-walnuts.com/ for more information.
From Hammonds Product Company: For all hulling stations in Kentucky, the opening price is $15/100 pounds after hulling. The price can lower as we move through the buying season so we encourage folks to turn them in as soon as they can. This information is based on wild, native trees. If you have members that grow cultivated, improved variety black walnut trees, we have a separate buying program for these nuts. We buy improved variety nuts on a grade and yield basis and only buy those here at our plant in Stockton, MO. If any of your members have tens or hundreds of identifiable cultivar trees and would like to sell their nuts, please have them contact us at harvest@black-walnuts.com or contact Director of Procurement, Tom Rutledge at 417-276-5181.
2020 Kentucky Black Walnut Hulling Stations: It is recommended that you contact your local huller prior to gathering nuts.
