"Delicious, Jumbo size and a Great Price!
I was fortunate to come across your web site when I was in search of pinenuts; they are impossible to find in any of the local stores. When the
first shipment arrived, both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the
large size and freshness of these nuts. They also arrived in record time
with free shipping. These pine nuts are the best that I have ever tasted;
I can't get enough of them! I have tried both the roasted and the raw
pinenut and they are both equally delicious. Anyone that orders will not be
disappointed. Be prepared to reorder!"

| Elevation and Pinecone Production |
| Pollination and Seed Development (18 months) |
The pinyon pine nut (seed) will begin its development in early spring. It begins when the tree grows stems of pollen an average of six inches in length (light brown powder in appearance) which in time is carried away by the wind or by other means, so called pollination. From the time of pollination through to the end of summer a tiny cone about the size of a marble will develop. This pre-mature cone will either remain dormant (a sleep) until the spring or shrivel up and wither a way due to the harshness of its environment.
When spring begins, once again, the surviving cone will recommence its growth to maturity as far as it’s environment permits. The cone will develop much rapidily than the year prior and by mid-summer (June) will show signs of seed development. If nature is favorable the cone will be spared from being dried up by the suns rays (on the hotter summers or days) and by mid-August near its completion to maturity.
Depending on the environmental conditions of that year the cone could reach maturity as early as the ending of August or Mid-September. Upon reaching its maturity and with the suns help (and heat), the cone will begin to open and become dryer as the seeds inside ripen. Taking into consideration the conditions the seed may already be fully developed and ripened (edible) before the cone is completely open. Therefore, with the environment at favorable conditions, a pine nut (seed) will be formed and reach its fully developed and mature phase in a matter of 18 months. |

In ecology, in regards to that of the pinyon pine tree, the elevation of the tree is an important determinant as to the quantity of pinecone production, and therefore, on the large part, will determine the amount of pine nuts the tree will yield.
Pinyon pine tree cone production is most commonly found at an elevation between 6,000 to 8,500 feet and ideally at 7,000 feet. At elevations lower or higher environmental conditions make it difficult for the tree to provide for the nourishment of the cones. Therefore in lack of that nourishment (in the most part water) the cones are more susceptible to being damaged and thus the tree will tend to abort the cone(s) in order to preserve its own health and await the following season to attempt another production of buds (or tiny cones), to than await 18 months for full cone maturity. |
Brief History of Pine Nuts and Mormon Pioneers |
When our ancestors, the mormon pioneers, came into the Utah valley's they became acquainted for the first time with the Nevada and Utah pine nuts / piñon.

Our American Pine Nut Story.
Back in the 1950’s you would find thousands of American citizens whether they be native Americans or others gathering and harvesting the Nevada jumbo soft shell pine nuts by the thousands of pounds for their personal use or to sell them to the different markets in the states of Nevada, Utah, California, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, and Texas. They sometimes just simply traded their pine nuts harvested for other goods in the local flee markets or in super markets. They enjoyed their community get a ways going on there campouts with their children and friends into the wilderness.
As time passed less and less of this practice by American citizens continued. Through the years as of today only a very few number of American citizens continue this practice. Most people are just to busy with their daily lives to be able to get away and harvest their pine nuts. Most of the older generations that use to love to go and gather their personal pinyon pine nuts have become to old to drive the distance into the wilderness of Nevada’s mountain ranges and camp out and do the gathering of pine nuts that they enjoyed very much at a younger age. We receive many emails from older folks that back in the 30’s, 40, 50’s, 60’s, etc. would go with their parents and friends to campout and enjoy their hunting or fishing and simply their get away to the woods and they would harvest their personal pinion pine nuts. Now in our day’s most US Citizens don’t take the time or simply don’t have the time to go and do in the woods what they did many years ago.
In our commercial harvesting business every year we encounter fewer and less personal harvesters of pine nuts as we did in prior years. We have always enjoyed meeting all these people in the woods and would like to hear all their pine nut harvesting, hunting, fishing, and camping experiences. They always try to teach us how to become more efficient in our commercial harvesting operation. For our pine nut gathering business it have been enjoyable through out the decades to meet and become acquainted with so many good folks and most of all to learn that they all love the pinyon pine forests and pinion pine nuts as much as we do.
Throughout the many decades of our involvement in the pine nut commercial business we have struggled and suffered to learn first hand how to bring about and to life a productive and profitable small family business. By this we can bring to you your American organic grown pine nuts at a bulk price or wholesale prices direct to you without any middle man between producer, harvester and consumers.
We always look at the woods as our home when we do our commercial harvest. We do all possible to prevent damage to trees in any way. We do not use any mechanical machinery of any kind to harvest the pinyon pine nuts. All the pine cones are harvested by hand one at the time. When we remove the pine nut from the cone we do use machinery for this operation and when we sort the good pine nuts form the bad ones we use mechanical machines for it. This cleaning process does not interfere with the pine tree in anyway. When looking at the woods as our home it is always in our best interest to leave things as we found them. How do we do this? Simple! We avoid cutting pine trees or breaking branches to gather the pinyon pine cones, and we gather all our garbage and remove it from the woods to the local county dumps and leave behind a clean forest for all visitors to enjoy when they stop by to visit. We rely on a healthy pinyon pine forest to bring forth a healthy pinyon pine cone that yields pinyon pine cone seed that is the pinon pine nut. Indeed this is a very precious food source for all to enjoy, the pine nut.
It brings sorrow to our family and friends when we see a good productive forest that has in the past years yielded a good bumper crop of pinyon pine cones that bring forth the seed of pine nuts that has been mowed down for life stock grassing or has been used for green wood cutting areas in the most inhuman ways to treat our precious natural resources in such a manner and also when that land is used for control burnings or experimental burnings by some universities or government agencies. We have known of this to happen in some areas that we have harvested from before.
I would like to say to all university or government agencies to stop this inhuman madness of control burnings or experimental burnings in our public lands. Commercial pine nut harvesting has never been a multi-million dollar industry like many other industries. We do not have the resources or the political pull to lobby in the US congress and our elected officials in order for them to consider better caring and protecting the pinyon pine nut forests or pinion nut forests, which is the best interest of the American people as a whole.
The product called pine nut that takes 18 months to complete its cycle from day of pollination to maturity is indeed a great nutritious and healthy food source and it is in the best interest of all Americans to keep an eye out for the pinyon pine nut forests.
The product called pine nut is very delicious and nutritious with a very unique and distinct flavor, you can enjoy them as fresh raw nuts or as freshly roasted nuts in shell or shelled pine nuts. This seed is great for a snack or food source for all of us to enjoy. One can have a great days meal by just simply eating plain pine nuts in a day time, and you’ll have a lot of energy. We don’t recommend for anybody to try this, but we can say that plenty people that we know of have done it with no side affects and no loss of energy of any kind. If you decide to get some pine nuts today we believe you will be pleased with the pine nuts and there great fresh taste whether they are fresh raw nuts, freshly roasted nuts or freshly shelled pine nuts. Remember buying bulk nuts always saves you money so call your closest pine nut lover and order together and save many penny’s and dollars.
