Using the Northeast Nutweb to Find & Purchase Nuts

There are two ways to search the Nutweb. To find a specific nut, tree species or product type, search the shop. To find what's available near you, search the map. Details for each way to search are provided below. No matter how you search, the Nutweb doesn't process financial transactions. Instead, you'll contact producers directly using the information in their profile to arrange purchase, payment, and pickup or delivery.

1. Search the Nutweb "shop" by tree species or product type.

   Go to the shop page to explore available nuts and nut products.

   
   

   On the shop page, you can search for specific items by keyword.

   • Search by nut type (e.g., "black walnut", "hickory", "butternut", "pecan")
   • Search by product type (e.g., "seedlings", "oil", "in-shell", "shelled")
   • Search by location or producer name

   Here's how the shop page looks:

2. Find producers near you by searching the interactive map.

   Open the map page to see all participating nut producers in your region. Each pin on the map represents a producer location. Click on any map pin or browse the "Producers" tab to view detailed producer profiles. Each profile includes:

   • Farm/enterprise description
   • Contact information
   • Available products
   • Location details

   Here's how the map page looks:

3. No Matter How You Search, Contact Producers Directly

   The Northeast Nutweb is meant to build connections. We hope that you are able to find the right connection and keep out Nutwork growing!

About This Project

The Northeast Nutweb was developed as part of the SARE-funded project "Identifying and Collecting Seed from Genetically Superior Walnut, Hickory and Pecan Trees on Yates County, New York Farms." The project identified that lack of seed market transparency was a major barrier preventing on-farm nuts from reaching the seed market.

This tool addresses that barrier by making regional nut supply visible and accessible. When widely used, the Nutweb helps:

• Increase diversity and desirability of regionally-adapted tree seed
• Connect farmers with productive uses for their on-farm nut trees
• Support the growth of local and regional nut economies
• Preserve butternut trees and identify canker-resistant specimens

Collaborators: Black Squirrel Farms, Yates County Farm Bureau, Cornell Cooperative Extension-Yates County, Our Sci, Yates County Chamber of Commerce, and independent agricultural researchers.

This work is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program under subaward number ONE24-463-AWD00001359.
