Before purchasing this land we never thought walnut trees could offer more than some walnuts, and shelter from the sun. Since we relocated here, however, we have fallen in love with these trees and have become walnut fanatics. Walnut trees play a huge role in our life - they nourish us, heal us and protect us; provide us with a future. It’s become our mission to spread the word and make people aware of the versatility of this wonderful plant and to help it regain its former glory.
Currently there are 220 walnut trees in Dióliget, but we’d like to increase this number in the future
