Winter season has arrived. Shasky Farms has been gearing up for the holiday season with our candied nuts and dried fruit. We are also waiting patiently for our citrus crops to arrive. We will be featuring Murcotts and Satsuma Mandarins, Mandarinquats, Tangors, and a variety of Navel Oranges at the Merced Certified Farmers Market on Saturday from 8 am to Noon.
We have been filling holiday orders like crazy. During the holiday season we feature a special packaged round that is filled with three varieties of either candied nuts or we also have a natural nut round that has natural almonds, walnuts and our red walnuts. What are red walnuts you ask? Well, lets venture down that path and learn more about them!
Red walnuts are a newer variety of walnuts propagated by UC Davis. They have red skin versus the regular walnut you eat have yellow skin. They are low in acid, so people that have allergies to walnuts seems to have less or no allergic reaction to the red walnuts. We planted the Livermore Red Walnuts in 2003 with the thought of them becoming more popular with customers due to their health benefits and low acidity. If you google Red Walnuts, they pop up every where. More and more people are using them in every food dish imaginable!
We are sad to see another year coming to a close, but we are excited to get started in 2011. We have many new fruit trees we are planting and bringing you new and exciting fruits....have you heard of a peacotum, a pub or a chum? Stay tuned for more blogs and we will entice you with our delicious fruit and nuts!
Happy holidays from our family to yours!
