Close to 100,000 lbs were purchased from BLM lands and a bit less on USFS land in Nevada. BLM Utah also reported a fair pinyon harvest from the Indian Peaks range. Early on much of the harvested appeared compromised by cone bores and other pests. However, the real surprises came when a harvester dumped workers in a remote region, and the local sheriff, together with federal agencies raided the harvest camp. This put a major crimp in one picker’s harvest, especially when dehydrated workers were discover suffering from frost bite. In light of these events, we can look to better oversight by agencies who administer the pine nut harvests in Nevada. The New Mexico harvest was almost a complete blight. There were some scattered murmurs of people picking in Chamas. A tiny harvest occurred in Eastern Utah and we had a harvest in central Colorado. It is safe to say that for every nut we harvested, one was discarded as the result of insufficient pine nut development. A better account of the details of our harvest may be found at the end of this newsletter. We also have a short movie that shares the fun parts of our Colorado harvest on YOUtube. Cyber- Monday Special November 26 – November 28^th This will be our only sale for the holiday season, but we made it a GREAT ONE. Fresh, Hard shell pinon pine nuts 10 lb box $249.00 Fresh Jumbo Soft Shell pinyon pine nuts 10 lb box $99.95!!! Winner First and Free – Nuts for Life Nuts for Life Growing up Navajo, Northern Ute and Mexican, pine nuts were a staple food for the winter, gathered by the hundreds of pound's and distributed throughout the family. I come from a very large family being the oldest grandson of 47 grandchildren. Pine nuts were like candy and on the table in bowls in every room. There were pine nut eating contests that we had when I was young and stories from my mother of her wining contests consistently as a child for eating the most nuts in the least amount of time. This was serious stuff were talking prizes and gifts as trophies, we would race each other all the time to see who could crack the most. Aside from all that, pine nuts were trade goods used as money to barter in exchange for goods and things we needed. I remember my father trading for seed, hay and even a goat once but the one thing we all loved to do was just sit around the TV and smell the nuts roasting and filling the house with that unforgettable smell of pine as some of the pine pitch that was always left on a few nuts melted away and filled our house with joy. Today it is much the same for my family though I am the addicted one, nothing warms my heart more than good jumbo sized great basin nuts. I must say I can hardly wait for the season to come around every year. mmmmmmmmmmmmm! the buttery taste that melts in your mouth, Winner – Celebrate even when life is tough! . I'm a single mom with 2 grown kids and 6 grandkids. I had ankle surgery in March of this year and have been out of work since on leave without pay earning 65% of my pay from workers comp. I have been raising 2 of my grandkids due to their parents being divorced, father is away working and mother is working and can no longer cross from Mexico into United States to take kids to school, doctor etc... They are now under my care which is costly and with my reduction in pay, I can no longer afford luxuries such as dinner out (use to be just McDonalds or Burger King or pizza for the kids) new clothes or shoes for myself, (have to buy school shoes and uniforms at second hand store) or my beloved PINENUTS (and beef jerky I use to always have too). To win 10 pounds of Pinenuts would have been such a treat, maybe next year I will be able to buy some, however with possibly more surgery on the horizon, I doubt it.

Pinyon Science and ecology– Ron Lanner and Penny Frazier Co- Publish: historic deforestation of nevada I cannot find word to express how grateful I was that Dr. Lanner took an interest in research I had done documenting the extent of deforestation by the mining industry and the railroads in Nevada. Dr. Lanner was kind enough to include my name of the paper, as a co-author. The paper will be published in the Journal of and challenges much of the widely held belief that the pinyon tree encroachment began in the early part of the twentieth - century. It traces multiple historical reports of the extent of pinyon forests from the later half of the 19^th century. I will gladly mail a copy of the paper to anyone who might be interested. penny@pinenut.com The paper is slated for publication in December. This is the introduction: The pinyon-juniper forests of Nevada have long been regarded as invasive communities that have expanded from sparse populations on rough terrain to overwhelm large areas of shrub-land, reducing their forage value. This paradigm has led to deforestation programs to restore a cover condition thought by range managers to have characterized these lands at the time of settlement in the mid-19th century. We here examine contemporary descriptions of the forest, mainly germane to the immense wood resources needed to support the mining and smelting industry. The early descriptions indicate that the pinyon-juniper forest was widespread, continuous over many mountain ranges throughout most of the state, and frequently dense. Three areas documented to have been deforested in the 19th century have naturally re-forested, showing the resilience of the forest. Deforestation for restoration reasons should not be undertaken unless site-specific evidence of shrubland invasion has been obtained. Winner Two – First and Free Contest- Honorable Mention Note from Penny – We sent the 82 year old father who was subject of this story a lb of soft shell, because, honoring the gifts of our elders, our parents, our teachers is part of the natural way. My earliest memories of pine nuts goes back to when I was just a young lad maybe 3 or 4, we were some- where outside of Flagstaff, Az. I can remember my parents setting me on an old stump and as I set there I would watched them harvesting the little nuts, they were so wonderful. I also remember seeing the native American Indians selling them along the black canyon highway before it was finished. When we move from Arizona to Eugene, Oregon, I lost track of them. 20 some years later I found myself working for Dowel, a subsidiary of Dew chemical doing oil well service out of Vernal Utah, we had just finished a job in western Colorado and on are way back to Vernal, we did a lunch stop in Rangly, Colorado. Some of the guys went to a restaurant, but for some reason I chose to go across the street to this little market. As I went to the counter to pay for my things, oh my goodness what did I see sitting on the counter, but a bag of pine nuts! I knew what they were the second I laid my eyes upon them and it’ s been wonderful. And then came an internet search and that’s how I found you. As I told you earlier Flo and I have move to Boise. You see about 9 weeks ago my dad called me to tell me that he had been diagnosed with gastric carcinoma, and the doctor was giving him 30 to 60 days. He would not survive the surgery, chemo is out as is radiation. So he has been using holistic means of medicine and he has just pass the 60 day mark. He is on a liquid diet but from time to time he will eat some solid foods. He loves sun flower seed and yes my dear, your pine nuts. I would not ask you for the win on this for myself , but you see I would ask you for my pop because he is my HERO. . Tincture Up Your Pine nut shells!! When George invented our pine nut sheller (sold out) we found ourselves up to our eyeballs in pine nut shells. After a little research we discovered in Russia the shells are used in a tincture. A potion made with whole Pine Nuts was used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and gout, as well as in metabolism disorders and vitamin deficiency. They would pour vodka on ground nuts together with their shells. After letting it steep for 7 days, they would filter it and ingest over a period of 1.5–2 months. The shell of the Pine nut is rich in tannic substances. It was used to make potions and concoctions (2–3 tablespoons per glassful), which were used in treating inflammation of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity and other organs in the form of embrocations and ablutions — in the case of skin diseases (lichen, pyodermatosis, eczema etc.), as well as burn damage. Potions made from shells of Pine Nuts were used for the treatment of the gastro-intestinal tract. It raises the tonicity, imparts strength and resotres the normal functioning of the gastro-intestinal tract. Potions made from shells in vodka were also used to treat hearing disorders. A concoction of Pine nut shells could be drunk in the case of gastro-intestinal disorders. It had a cohesive, anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory action. Siberian wizards recommended using a potion made from Pine nut shells in the case of hemorrhoids. Folk medicine recommended that a potion of Pine nut shells be drunk in the case of osteochondrosis or arthritis I really enjoy the pine nut flavor, but this tincture packs one heck of a wallop. Instructions: 1. Crush all of your empty pine nut shells with a rolling pin 2. Fill an quart jar with your crushed shells 3. Add Everclear or another brand of high alcohol content liquor – fill to the top of jar. 4. Allow tincture to set for at least three months 5. Strain off alcohol – and sip sparingly. Tastes amazing and the pine nut flavor hangs on the back of your pallet. � shot glass warms a person inside out. The Story of our pine nut harvest 2011 It was as crazy of a year as we have ever had. Harvests from three states, with our farm in the fourth. Shortly after we began shipping I had to fly back to the farm,, The new shipping system would not work remotely, as no internet service was available. There was no cell phone service in the mountains. There was a tremendous amount of frustration on behalf of everyone when the post office refused to ship well over 100 packages. 99% of the problems were resolved and I am still following up to be sure people got their pine nuts. George and the crew did an incredible job of building equipment to clean and sort the Colorado pinon nuts. Several local ranchers, Natural Resource Soil Conservation and County Extension were all great in exploring the region for long-term pinon nut potential and management of private lands as pinon nut groves. George and the crew invented 3 pieces of equipment that can easily be replicated for small-scale pinon production. We got our feet in the door and on the land in Colorado. Several landowners, including a church got nice checks from our pinon harvest leases. The Vamulance got a $3,600 transmission job, a new fuel pump, a new water pump as well as a host of other, “oh my goodness, yet another new part.” She did haul multiple tons of nuts across the continental divide – here there and yonder. We were never stranded on the road, albeit a Trooper in Kansas wondered what the heck anyone would do with tons of pine nuts. We are back on the farm and this harvest is wrapped up. Our tracking and shipping system works just fine from our farm and life is good. All is well ! We celebrate! Thank you for your interest in public lands and private forests.

We are working on a different way and giving client a HUGE discount for pre -ordering pine nuts for 2011. All soft shell pine nuts are $9.95 for preharvest orders. PRICES WILL GO UP 10/01/11!! Our hope is people will order their year's supply and we will cut our costs over the long haul, with storage etc.

Summary of Harvest Conditions - fewer but larger pine nuts.

Disastrous insect conditions have destroyed large harvest areas of Nevada. This is due primarily to the cone bore. This is an insect that bores into the base of the cone prohibiting the nuts from forming properly. The pinyon cone beetle can destroy more than 50% of the crop of its host pinyon, while coneworms tunnel in cones and shoots . By in large, the cones in a given area look good, but once the pickers start picking they find the nuts are not filled out and the product is no good. This will cause a price increase in the local and national market. Due to the fact that large accessible harvest areas completely destroyed by the pest will bringing a higher price to the consumer. We had anticipated, a far above average pine nut harvest for 2011. This disastrous condition to the pinyon pine nut production is not due to lack of precipitation. In our primary harvest areas the rainfall has be 30% higher than average. However, we see the cone bore rapidly destroying large amounts of production in short time. PRICES WILL GO UP 10.01.11

3. ) Harvesting Hard shell pinon nuts now!

We are so proud to have a hard shell pinon harvest in 2011. This is due to hard work and relationships built with private landowners over many years. As New Mexico was burning up this summer, we were horrified at the thought of the long-term damage to the pinon forest. We are afraid these fires will limit production for many, many years. However, we have spent years developing relationships with landowners in the Southwest. This year we are harvesting on private lands with leases on several large ranches and many small landowners who have recreational property in Pinon Land. This year’s harvest has had lots of rain, so the nuts will be large and 100% species specific – Pinus Edulis aka Indian Nuts or Hardshell pinon. PLEASE order early as the demand for hard shell pinon is huge. We may end up selling out quickly as in New Mexico - alone, hundreds of street venders need pinon nuts and the market is HOT!

4.) DIY - Pine Nut Oil and Pine Nut Butters

Pine nut oil is very costly and one can never be sure it is 100% pine nut oil, rather than a blend. It was fun to learn that Pinus Monophylla – Jumbo Soft Shell Pine Nuts were used to express pine nut oil in the 1800’s. Here is what the researchers found then:

Pine Nut Oil. M. Adams And A. Holmes. /. Ind. Eng. Chem., 5, 285-7.—This oil comes from Pinus monophylla which grows in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The consts. are: m. p. 15�, sapon. no. 189, I no. 108; nM, 1.4543. From expts. it was concluded that the oil consists chiefly of glycerides of oleic acid with small amts. of stearic, palmitic, lauric and linoleic acids. E. Scherubel. Native American people made nut butters in the following manner (we have not tried this so let us know if you do)

DIY NUT BUTTER TRADITIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN METHOD

Cream 1 cup of butter, add to it 1 cup of ground pine nuts run through a food processor or grinder. Add 5 or 6 cups of water, and boil in a kettle for an hour; then set in a cool place, and the oil will rise to the top, and will become hard like tallow if the temperature is not higher than fifty degrees above zero. The sediment will settle to the bottom, leaving the oil white and clear, retaining a delicate pine nut flavor.

5) Pinyon Roasting Cones - Yes, we have them

Freshly roasted pinon nuts in pine cones are an excellent way to impress your guests at the holiday table. Simply wrap in foil and bake, your home is filled with the smell of fresh pinon - nothing could be more beautiful or smell better. Year after year, our clients described the pleasure the had on family outings harvesting pine cones and roasting the cones. We now are pleased to ship these wonderful, freshly harvested pinyon cones to your homes. Please keep refrigerated to keep the cones from opening further. Cones are available by the bushel for $75.00, this is perfect for people with large birds, or folks with large families. Pine cones MUST be pre-ordered and are shipped late September before pine nuts.

6.) Pinyon PIne Essential Oil - Coming this fall

Volatile or essential oils are the concentrated aromatic compounds produced from leaves, seeds, barks, roots and the peels of the fruits of wide range of plant species. They vaporize upon contact with air. Volatile oils are recovered from plants by different methods, such as steam distillation and solvent extraction, depending on the present oil quality and the stability of the aromatic components. They can be redistilled and purified for the desired properties of end products. A Wild Crops Farm, our Ozark Enterprise specializes in hard to find floral essences extracted from native plants. This year we will be distilling both P. Edulis and P. Monophylla. This a perfect way to bring the forest to soaps and bath salts, dap a bit on your cards and let the forest be with you!

7.) Coupon Code "ten cones" get 1 lb of pine nuts free with your pine cone order

Here is a $10.00 coupon for pine nuts (the same as getting 1 lb free) when a person orders a box of pine cones. We wanted to help people buy their pine nuts cheaper and get a jump on the American pine nut harvest.

Use the coupon Code:

TENCONES

It gives customers $10 off under the following two conditions:

1. The order contains the box of cones.

2. In addition to the cones, the order contains at least one other item
(which can be ANY item, including even a second box of cones).

8.) Our reading recommendation - The Power Of Luck, wisdom from the old world – available on pinenut.com

I generally randomly open a book to a page and start reading. I did this with the Power of Luck and immediately knew the book was a powerful tool. Using the explosive energy of laughter to transcend any difficulties is an ancient craft, now all-but-forgotten. The comeback of this sacred knowledge completely redefines everything we know about ourselves and this world. It opens up vistas so vast that your life is never going to be the same after you open The Power of Luck.

Reading The Power of Luck is like discovering a world sparkling with colors after a lifetime of seeing it black, white, and gray. As one reader put it, “it’s more invigorating than a pint of lemon juice!” And we should add: the joy, freedom, and success streaming from this volume are incredibly contagious! Put luck to work and let your results speak for themselves!

9.) Best NEWS of the Newsletter – FREE TRACKING AND EMAIL NOTIFICATION on ALL ORDERS PLACED ON LINE!

Thanks to a shipping software, we can now send email notification when your order is shipped together with its tracking number. NO more lost orders!! One year an order was lost by the post office for 5 months, bouncing back and forth between Springfield Mo and El Paso Texas. Another year, 3 10 lb boxes disappeared all at the same time (suspicious) but no more! We also have an low cost insurance option that will allow us to instantly replace any order lost or damaged in shipment! This to us was the best news of all.

Our American Pine Nut Sheller Video and a Special Event - DIY - Distillation Workshop

2011-01-25T18:21:21Z

Greetings,

Many people on our list have emailed over the years asking to be informed about special events.

George Frazier will host a workshop on making your own distillation units two days at the Missouri Organic Association's Annual Conference in Springfield MO . He has several simple designs to share and the conference is jammed packed with great speakers and workshops. Tina Wilcox of The Folk Center will be presenting and there are lots of terrific classes and workshops.

http://www.missouriorganic.org/

Also, George has invented a pine nut sheller and we put together a fun little video about shelling American pine nuts. We did not have enough of a harvest to follow up on our plans to give away the shellers with large orders, maybe next year. We also have the video on our pinenut blog,

We hope you can join us at this event,

Best of Days,

Penny Frazier
