We're Nuts About Nuts!

Shasky Farms

Carrie Mitchell

I am nuts about flavored almonds (Get it? Nuts? Yea sorry, I like kid jokes.), I mean how can you resist the smell of sweet cinnamon coated almonds?! You have to have Super Man’s will power to walk by that kiosk at the mall or booth at the fair and not stop and at least taste one! Thanks to Carrie Mitchell at Shasky Farms in Le Grand California I don’t have to wait for the fair or battle the crowds at the mall for a little taste of almond Heaven anymore!

Carrie Mitchell sent me their product so fast that I seriously feel like she dropped it off on my doorstep herself. Inside my box was a lovely pamphlet about the farm and three bags of their candied almonds that I immediately fell in love with! We received the more traditional cinnamon vanilla candied almonds (my favorite), as well as the little more exciting apple pie candied almonds, and the truly new to my taste buds raspberry candied almonds. All three kinds were simply delicious!

I knew I couldn’t eat them all on my own…well who are we kidding, I probably could have polished off the big bag of cinnamon vanilla ones, but lets pretend I didn’t say that. So like I was saying, because I couldn’t eat them all on my own I put them in some containers and took them to our Thursday night bowling league and lets just say, I was the hit of our table!

Apple Pie Almonds, Raspberry Almonds, Cinnamon Vanilla Almonds

Everyone that tried the almonds loved them just as much as I did! Our friend Jen was absolutely smitten with the raspberry almonds because she had never tasted anything like them before. My hubby was hoarding all three of the bowls about halfway through bowling and didn’t want to share any of them. My mom and dad really enjoyed the cinnamon vanilla almonds, as did our friends Marcey and Karen. My Uncle Martin really liked the apple pie almonds. We even started to take the apple pie almonds and eat them at the same time as the cinnamon vanilla almonds to make a brand new yummy flavor.

Carrie Mitchell was great to work with! She told me that Shasky Farms is a small family farm business, and that she is the 4th generation working on the farm. She even told me that the 5th generation growing up on the farm! How incredibly cool is that? Even here in the “Corn Belt” a 5^th generation family run farm like Shasky Farms seems to be a rarity now a days. On the farm they grow all kinds of fruit, from peaches, oranges, nectarines, and cherries, to the delicious sounding hybrid pluots (plum apricot)

Shasky Farms candied almonds and walnuts would make a great Christmas gift for anyone who loves nuts, or a wonderful addition to any holiday party.
