All orders subject to availability. Thank you to all our loyal customers in 2009 Seasons Greetings from Jill and Peter Webb 6th November 2009We are now despatching Cobnuts out of the Husk.

GO NUTS this Christmas with a great Xmas Gift ideaShare your passion with your friends; order 5kg of nuts during December and receive: - 5Kg nuts, 5 Christmas nut bags and 5 Cobnut Leaflets. Resisting the temptation to eat them all yourself, put the nuts into the Christmas nut bag, together with a leaflet and give them to your friends and relatives as a Christmas or New Year present. Please keep your nuts moist and cool so that they arrive in perfect condition for your friends. 29th September 2009We have now finished picking the Cobnuts, however we have plenty in stock for sale. These Cobnuts are at present in the ‘unsorted’ state. We must now wait until the husks come off and then sort them and keep them moist in airtight bags for sale. We are now sorting these Cobnuts most of which will be sold without husks, but we still have some with their husks on which we will send until finished (approx 2 weeks). Our prices remain the same but the weight of the parcel you receive will be less for Cobnuts without husks, so whether you order with or without husks you will receive the same amount of Cobnuts We also have a special offer for Christmas: Those who order the £40 (4Kg) option in December will receive 4 net bags and 4 Allens Farm leaflets, to give to their friends with nuts, for Christmas. To keep the nuts fresh we store them in air tight bags, the nuts will smell musty when received, however inside the shell the nut will be as fresh as ever, tasting moist and crunchy as if it had recently been picked. Should the nuts dry out they can be rehydrated by soaking overnight in water. 25th August 2009Welcome to the 2009 Cobnut Season.
