Badgersett Research Corporation:
Woody Agriculture research and development
With roots going back to 1978, we work on bringing "Woody Agriculture" into the mainstream world of full scale staple food production. Besides selling the nuts we grow, we breed and sell seedlings of neohybrid hazelnuts, chestnuts, and hickory-pecans; and we are involved in all aspects of commercializing these crops, from developing machinery and harvest procedures to consumer products and marketing.
The first definitive how-to for growing hybrid hazels is here! Pre-ordered copies are now shipping for Growing Hybrid Hazelnuts. Check it out!

We sell several varieties of our own delicious, homegrown, pesticide- and herbicide-free nuts. Harvest is in late summer and early fall, and nuts sell out very soon thereafter. If you want to spend your holidays roasting chestnuts over an open fire while munching on fresh hazelnut cookies, place your orders early, as we usually sell out!
You've read the info and given it some thought (and perhaps sampled some of our nuts), and you'd like put in your own plants. Our hazel plants sell out quickly, so place your orders far in advance of the next planting season, and allow substitutes for the best options.
