Hello! I’m Alex Hamm, owner of Homegrown Hazelnut Nursery. I spent four years as a research technician for the Nebraska Forest Service in partnership with the Hybrid Hazelnut Consortium, which also includes Oregon State University, Rutgers University, and the Arbor Day Foundation. During my time with NFS, I was able to learn a lot about hazelnut propagation, growth, best care practices, and integrated pest management. I love to grow and promote the growth of the fastest-producing (and delicious) nut, the hazelnut. Whether you are a backyard tree and shrub enthusiast or an aspiring orchardist, you can be confident buying our cultivar and seed-grown hazelnuts. Your purchase includes my support and guidance. I’m here to help you succeed!
