Au revoir to the 2008 Cobnuts season........

Thank you to all our loyal customers for sharing the 2008 Cobnut Season with us.

We have now sold out of Kentish Cobnuts for this year and have removed the Google 'Buy Now' Button from the Webpage..

We have been very pleased with Google Checkout, it may be a bit more work entering your address details on Google, but we think Google Checkout works well for both of us and is certainly good value for money..

You may be interested in seeing the Assistant Nutter 'at work' as recorded by Kent TV in October 2008..



All being well we will be back with you in August 2009 ready for the 2009 Cobnut season.

With very best wishes for the rest of 2008,

Jill & Peter Webb



Green Cobnuts
Green Cobnuts are similar to green walnuts or even fresh Chestnuts, having quite a dry starchy taste. By the middle to end of September they will be turning Golden and will become sweet and juicy.

(UK Mainland orders only)
We will send Green Cobnuts until they have matured to Golden (around mid September) then we will send Golden, so order before the middle of September if you want to be sure of getting Green Cobnuts.


Golden Cobnuts
Initially, Golden nuts are supplied in their Husks, then as the Husks come off just the nuts are supplied, this is due to the difficulty of removing the Husks before Mother Nature has decreed that the time is right.

(UK Mainland orders only)
We will HOLD your Order until Golden are available (around mid September).
Note that we will not Charge your Card until we have despatched your Order.
Remember, if you want to keep your Golden Cobnuts Fresh and Juicy right up to Christmas and beyond, keep them in a cool place in an airtight container. Don't worry if they smell a bit musty, natures packaging is the best.
