Oregon is the largest producer of hazelnuts in the u.s.

 Welcome to Denbrook Farm! 

We are a bountiful hazelnut farm nestled in the heart of the Willamette Valley blessed with fertile soil and open skies surrounded by mountains on three sides – the Cascade Range to the east, the Oregon Coast Range to the west, and the Calapooya Mountains to the south. 

We grow three types of nuts -  Barcelona, Lewis and Jefferson

Hazelnut Fun Facts: 

• The hazelnut became Oregon’s official State Nut in 1989
• About 800 Oregon farm families grow hazelnuts on 70,000 acres
• Hazelnut trees can produce until over 100 years of age
• The hazelnut is unique in that it blooms and pollinates in the middle of winter, wind carries the pollen from yellow catkins to a tiny red flower, where it stays dormant until June, when the nut begins to form
• The nuts mature during the summer months, turning from green to shades of hazel nestled in a protective husk, and are harvested in late September or October after they have fallen to the ground...(competing with squirrels getting ready for winter!)
• Barcelona is the most prominent variety grown in Oregon today
