Customers go nuts for Jewels Under the Kilt – a line of locally grown and roasted walnuts, pecans and hazelnuts, nut butters, dried fruit, sauces and granolas.
In the early days, Elizabeth Burrow grew all the nuts herself on her 95-acre farm, using sustainable practices such as shellfish-based fertilizer, strategic inter-planting and organic insecticidal soap. As the popularity of her snacks has grown, she has planted other nut varieties to expand her offerings. Burrow has also turned to other farms to supplement her nut supply, as well as provide maple syrup, peaches, apples, pumpkins and other flavourings.
