Welcome to 'The Welsh Walnut Experiment,' where we explore the potential of growing nuts in Wales. In this episode, we meet Martyn Williams from Carmarthenshire who has ventured into the world of tree nut production. With the support of Farming Connect's Try Out Fund, he has planted walnut and sweet chestnut trees on his land, hoping to unlock a new source of income and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural future. Join us as we delve into the challenges and rewards of this ambitious project, and discover whether Wales can truly become a haven for nut growers. Geraint Jones Forestry Specialist Officer is also joined by Tom Tame who grows Walnuts commercially on his family farm in Warwickshire.
