Four passionate friends came up with “walnut cloud farming”

walnut cloud farming

We were passionate about agriculture and had an idea to co-invest in a walnut plantation. Thinking hard and long about the idea, we came up with a better one. 

Why not expand the amazing opportunity to people worldwide, a so-called “walnut cloud farming” model that lets agriculture enthusiasts and investors alike join in on the action?

And so the Walnut Fund was born.

40+ years of yield

40+ years of yield

Walnut plantations are a worthwhile investment opportunity because it can economically produce walnuts for the next 40+ years.

With an average €180 price tag per tree (our 10+1 tree package), we can execute all the steps needed to maintain a production-intense walnut plantation while providing you with profit.

Not only do you get steady and secure source of passive income, but the trees themselves also contribute to the environment and ecosystem.

The investor club

You first, and then the Walnut Fund

Once the plantation becomes self-sustainable – year 4, the profits are first used to reimburse investors, and only then does the Walnut Fund take its share of the profits.

Our team, comprising well-established professionals in agriculture, food quality, business, marketing, and planning, who have dedicated their careers to working with walnut plantations, guarantees the success of future plantations.

Why Walnuts?

Continuous growth

Historically, Walnuts have always been in high demand and short supply

With the walnut demand growing yearly and a stable supply, the market price of walnuts is very consistent.
Continuous growth
Sale at price maximum

Steady price throughout the year

The price of any commodity fluctuates throughout the year regarding supply and demand. Within their shell, walnuts can stay up to 20 months. This allows us to sell when the price is at a maximum. There are no losses during transport or warehousing.
Price
Minimized labor

Harvesting is completely mechanized

Farmers mechanically harvest walnuts, which is an enormous advantage as it minimizes labor costs and leaves profits unaffected.

One of the safest goods

Walnuts are very resistant to pests

Compared to other fruit-bearing trees, the walnut is very resistant to pests, disease and natural elements. Walnuts are one of the safest and most reliable farmable goods.

Used in many industries

Walnuts are not dependent of only one industry

People use most walnuts in the production of walnut oil, in the cosmetic industry and for wood stock. You can sell a walnut tree for as much as ten thousand dollars. Walnut shells can produce high-quality heating pellets. Yes, there’s so much to love.

Minimal risk of frost damage

Walnut trees bloom late and there is minimal risk of frost damage to the nuts and flowers. They do not depend on honeybees as they are wind pollinated by pollinizer trees.
