Turning raw agricultural products (like in-shell nuts) into saleable food products depends on cost-effective processing equipment and facilities. This processing is often a bottleneck that can constrict growth of an industry, especially in the early days when an industry is just getting started. Historically, agricultural processors have sometimes served as gatekeepers to control an industry to the detriment of growers and consumers alike.
Midwest Hazelnuts, LLC is committed to making sure there is processing capacity available to any and all growers. To that end, we support the UMHDI's Processing Accelerator and their pilot facility currently located in Ashland, WI. For a small fee, users can access sizing, cracking, and sorting equipment. For more information on how you can use the facility, contact Jason Fischbach ([email protected]). |
