The Oregon Hazelnut industry celebrates the rich heritage and cultivation of hazelnuts, known locally as filberts. Recognized as Oregon’s official State Nut in 1989, these nuts are grown by around 1,000 farming families across 93,000 acres, primarily the Barcelona variety. The Hazelnut Industry Office, which oversees various associations including the Oregon Hazelnut Commission, is dedicated to promoting and advancing this essential agricultural sector.

Oregon's hazelnut trees are unique, thriving for over a century, and exhibit a distinctive winter bloom and pollination cycle. Nuts mature in summer and are typically harvested between late September and October. The industry values sustainable growing practices while providing educational resources for growers, including nutritional information and technical support.

Consumers can easily access hazelnuts through a network of wholesalers and retailers, and monthly newsletters keep enthusiasts informed with recipes, news, and product details. For anyone interested in exploring the world of Oregon hazelnuts, the brand offers a wealth of knowledge and delicious products.
