We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist.
– Wendell Berry
The Pennsylvania Nut Growers Association was formed in 1932 for the promotion of interest in hardy nut bearing trees, their products, and their culture. We are a non-profit group dedicated to assisting local professionals, hobbyists, and students in growing higher quality nut trees. Our members benefit through a wide range of opportunities, including tree grafting workshops, demonstrations, farm tours, and newsletter articles as well as access to a network of experienced members.
