Our Company
We are a small start-up company with big ambitions. We are grower-owned with 24 grower-owners working together to process and market our hazelnuts to customers, customers that value quality, superb flavor, and a chance to participate in something bigger. We are growing hazelnuts, but we are also helping change the way we farm in the Upper Midwest. Instead of miles of nothing but corn and soybeans, we envision perennial polycultures of woody plants modeled after the oak savannah ecosystem that once thrived in the Upper Midwest. Great food, clean water, healthy soil. That's what we stand for.

The American Hazelnut Company was launched in November of 2014 and we are located at the Kickapoo Culinary Center in Gays Mills, WI. Our processing facility is licensed and inspected to ensure the highest degree of food safety. We currently buy in-shell hazelnuts from our grower-members and process them into a range of products including whole kernels, cold-pressed unfiltered oil, and hazelnut meal. Our priority is to work with customers passionate about hazelnuts to make sure you get the products you want.
