Jumbo Nevada Soft Shell Pinyon Pine Nuts

We have been getting emails asking about the 2009 harvest of American Pine Nuts. If you want to place an pre- order, in August and lock in your price, you may do so on our order page,

http://www.pinenut.com/order-products.htm

In 2007 there was no soft shell harvest and in 2008, there was a poor harvest and prices reached $18.00 in Nevada grocery stores. There will be no shortage of pinyon nuts in 2009. But, some of our clients seem concerned and that is why we are sending out this email.

We will be in Nevada and Utah starting late September, there should be a delivery or two to Las Vegas the first week in October. We will have apx 2,500 - 3,000 lbs of orders to ship that first week in the field. We ship all bulk orders (10 – 50 lbs) first in the order in which they were placed.

We start shipping packaged product the second week less than 10 lbs. Anticipate those deliveries around October 12 - 17^th.

Hard shell New Mexico Pinon

There are harvestable quantities of the hard shell nuts in Utah and tiny pockets through CO and NM. These will be harder to come by this year, but we have a great relationship with a picker's cooperative and feel sure we can offer about 4,000 lbs for the pre Christmas orders. We have a few pounds on hand, but very few, so do not pre order this species.

Other Wild Nuts-

We anticipate having butter nuts, hickory nuts and hazel nuts mid to late October (after we return from the Southwest shipping the pine nut orders).
