Step one: find yourself some Black Walnut trees. (And yes, ask permission if they’re not in your yard—neighbors are usually thrilled for you to take them off their hands).

Grab the nuts right after they hit the ground, when the hulls are still green. Pro tip: you can pick them up by hand or use the Nut Wizard, which is basically the Roomba of nut gathering.

Toss your haul into bags or the back of your truck.

Head to your nearest Hammons hulling station within a couple of days. They’ll run the nuts through a machine, strip the hulls, and pay you by the weight. Bonus: the fresher they are when you bring them in, the better they’ll taste.

Cash in, make memories with your crew, and flex a little next time you spot Black Walnuts in the grocery store—because you helped make that happen.
