Our first trees, 2015.
A walnut tree does not yield a harvest on the day it is planted. From those first young trees to the first harvest, we kept caring for the orchard.
It all began in the orchard.
We started by growing walnuts. Ceviz Trakya is the name of the walnuts grown in Avrupa Tarım’s orchard in Uzunköprü, Edirne.

These walnuts
are grown by us.
The idea of growing walnuts at Avrupa Tarım began in 2011. After preparing the land, we planted our first trees in 2015. Over the years, we have watched them grow and planned irrigation, care and harvest around this orchard’s needs.
Today, we have around 50,000 walnut trees across 300 hectares. We grow Chandler, Howard and red-kernel Livermore. Although the varieties differ, we know where each one grows, when it is harvested and how it is dried.
Ceviz Trakya is an Avrupa Tarım brand. We pack our own walnuts under this name. When you hold a bag, we want you to know the orchard and the people behind it too.
Walnuts take patience.
No two seasons are the same. The weather changes, and so do the trees’ water needs. We watch the orchard and plan our work accordingly.
From tree to bag.
The work does not end at harvest. We wash the walnuts, remove their green husks and dry them. After checking and sorting, we pack them.

This is where the walnuts grow.
This is our orchard in Uzunköprü. These photographs show our trees, our facilities and the team who sort our walnuts.
AFTER HARVESTWhat happens
What happens
before packing?
We bring the harvested walnuts to our facilities inside the orchard. After washing and removing their green husks, we dry them, sort them by size, check them and pack them in-shell.
We care about the kernel, its colour and its taste. We assess each variety by its own character: Chandler’s pale kernel and Livermore’s red kernel look different. With both, we want you to enjoy the walnut when you crack it open.
