@homegrown_handgathered: The mountains gave us a huge harvest of Shagbark hickory nuts this Fall! #foraging #offgridliving #wildfood #hobbitcore #solarpunk
our hickory tree is the main attraction for the local squirrels ❤️maybe we’ll forage some too!

Sustenance Math: 1/2 bushel is 75 cups, hickory nuts are 1/3 nut and 2/3 shell. 1/3 of 75 is 25 cups. Hickories have about 750 calories per cup. 750 calories x 25 cups =18,750 calories!

I grew up with a several hickory trees around my house. They’re delicious but they also provided some deadly projectiles for the squirrels

Society becomes great when when old people plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit.

I'm from Virginia... yes they are very hard. I remember as a child my great grandmother would 🪑 and patiently pick the nuts from the shell with a sewing needle.🥰

Pecans and hickory trees have a seven year cycle. The closer to the 7th year, the more abundant the nuts are.

My dad gsthered up, cracked and picked hickory nuts. Mom would grind them then add them to a brown sugar fudge she made. Perfection!

My uncle, my mama and I would always sit on the front porch and eat these. They were so hard to crack open. I wish I had the contraption that you had when I was a kid.
