grassroots media spotlight: organic hazelnuts
Though 99% of U.S. hazelnuts are grown in Oregon, only 1% of these are grown organically. NCAP doesn’t back down from a challenge, though, and we are proud to be working with a new cooperative, Oregon Organic Hazelnuts , to change the statistics. Taylor Larson of My Brothers' Farm shares successes in Oregon organic hazelnut production.

Grower Taylor Larson of My Brothers' Farm in Creswell, Oregon demonstrates how to manage hazelnut orchards for increased biodiversity and healthy soil.
