    The owner, Bill Hammitt, has been growing Eastern Black Walnut for the last 55 years and Christmas trees for 15 years. The walnut trees are managed for veneer quality timber, with the largest being 25 inches in diameter (planted in 1964). The majority of walnut trees were planted in 1984 (40 yrs) and have been intensively managed. The 40-year-old planting consists of some sources of "superior" trees.



    Attendees will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for a new Stihl chainsaw.
