Using the hazelnuts processed at the Hulings Rice Food Center, The American Hazelnut Company in Gays Mills, Wisconsin, is producing gluten-free flour, bagged nuts, and hazelnut oil, now sold in grocery stores, including the Chequamegon Food Cooperative. With their high protein and oil contents, hazelnuts make better animal feed and biofuel than soybeans and the high oil content makes them valuable for cooking oils.

“I was skeptical years ago, but the more I learn, the more I see hazelnuts as a solution,” said Todd Rothe, director of the Food Center and owner of River Road Farm.įischbach is poised to distribute hazelnut seedlings to farmers in the spring of 2020 though it will take years to see results-four years before hazelnuts start producing and eight years until farmers see a profit. Hazelnuts can be raised among other crops or grasses, offering acres of habitat for bumblebees and other key pollinators. Hazelnuts provide an alternative, a deep-rooted perennial crop that holds the soil, absorbs and stores carbon, and produces a high protein crop for humans. They are also delicious, nutritious, will grow in most soils, and might be the next best thing for water quality, soil retention, and farm economics.Ĭonventional farming promotes soybean-corn rotation that relies on fossil fuel-intensive fertilizers and machinery and leaves the soil vulnerable to erosion. Hazelnuts grow wild in northern Wisconsin. The goal: to make it the next cash crop for Wisconsin farmers. “Hazelnuts are the next cranberry,” said Jason Fischbach of the University of Wisconsin, who for twelve years has been breeding hazelnuts for taste and Midwestern hardiness.

There are three-hundred seedlings in the CSE Greenhouse, a hazelnut processor and cracker in the Hulings Rice Food Center, and last semester business students tackled hazelnut product development and marketing in the classroom and in the Larson Food Lab.
