About Ken and June’s Hazelnuts

The Melcher family has been in the business of growing hazelnuts for over 50 years. Ken & June Melcher began farming hazelnuts in 1957 on a 40-acre farm in their home town of St. Paul, Oregon. It was one of the largest filbert orchards in the Willamette Valley at the time. As second generation farmers, we now farm 300 acres of hazelnuts. In 2000, we expanded our business to include packaged, ready to eat hazelnuts, named after the original farmers, Ken and June Melcher. Ken & June’s product line includes raw, dry roasted, and roasted & salted hazelnuts, as well as a delicious selection of chocolate coated hazelnuts including milk, dark, & dark chocolate sea salt, white chocolate coated as well as a deliciously unique Marion berry candy coated hazelnut. We also offer our locally sourced fruit jams. Our hazelnut products are freshly grown and packaged here in the great Willamette Valley of Oregon and can be shipped anywhere within the United States. We look forward to you enjoying our products! As a family owned and operated small business, we take great pride in providing a quality, locally grown product for our customers to enjoy all year round.Read their story
