Allison Taggart and Peter Wattke purchased the farm in December 2021 from Wayne and Suzette Spradbury.

For us, growing walnuts is more than farming – it’s now part of our family story. We are caring, nurturing and growing our Walnut trees as we have grown our children.

We are grateful to all of our family and friends who support us on the farm and hope the farm provides family, friends and visitors with a welcoming place to slow down, and the opportunity to experience the same sense of peace and belonging that we feel every day among the trees.

Every season brings its challenges and rewards, and we take the time to care for each tree so it can produce the best walnuts possible. We hope that this care shows in every harvest we share with you.

We believe in growing food the way nature intended – gently and responsibly. By looking after our soil, conserving water, and protecting the balance of our orchard, we know we’re not just growing walnuts for today, but for the next generation of our family – and yours.

The Tamar Valley is our home, and we feel a deep responsibility to care for it. Our values guide every decision we make, from the way we farm to the way we pass on our walnuts to you.

At Tamar Valley Walnuts family, care, and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do – so when you enjoy our walnuts, you’re sharing in a little piece of our family’s journey.
