Rare by Nature
When people see our walnuts, they do a double-take. "What did you do to these?" Dye them? Dip them in something? Nope.
That gorgeous red hue? That's all natural. These are Livermore walnuts, a rare variety developed at UC Davis in 1991 through a controlled pollination experiment with a French cultivar. They're only grown in California and make up less than 2% of the world's walnuts. Their red pigmentation comes from anthocyanidins, the same antioxidant compounds found in superfoods, which means they might actually be healthier than standard walnuts (which are already the healthiest nuts out there).
More Than a Pretty Face
They’re not just stunning. Those red shells signal lower tannin content, which means a creamier texture and none of that bitter bite you get from conventional walnuts. They're smaller but meatier, with less astringency.
Foodies compare their effect on the palette to macadamias. Their sweet, buttery flavor makes you want to reach for another. Health-conscious folks love their superfood credentials. Chefs? They're already scheming about what dish gets the honor.
We put genuine care into these non-GMO Livermore walnuts. And yeah, we think you'll go a little nuts for them too.
About Us
Good Earth Farms sounds like we're selling meditation retreats – we get it.
The truth? We dug our roots decades ago in the rolling hills of Northern California as lifestyle farmers selling recycled compost.
Over the years we've grown an abundance of crops from heirloom tomatoes and pumpkins to wine grapes – eventually learning the quiet truth. Variety and quality leads to a thriving farming ecosystem.
We're on Mother Nature's Good Side
Today it's regenerative row crops and thriving orchards with a commitment to the earth. What started years ago became something bigger – learning how to work with the land instead of taking from it.
Turns out the “good” in our name isn't about lifestyle but instead soil regeneration. We rotate crops, plant beneficials, and let the earth breathe. Our valley's coastal winds create natural dormant periods, giving the soil time to reset. It's not just sustainable, it's smart farming. The kind that actually improves the land year after year.
The Signature of Good Earth
The result? Premium walnuts with real character. Produce that tastes like it came from somewhere special. And an operation that's genuinely better for the planet. Because when you regenerate soil instead of depleting it, everyone wins.
This is our commitment: a partnership with land that's been evolving for millions of years. We're just trying to get it right.
