Cooper's
nut house has a complete Macadamia processing plant on his farm and offers
these services to growers in California who may have one tree or many.
If you need processing and proper handling of your tree's nuts call Tom.
W
e can husk, dry, crack, sort, package and create personalized labels for
your nuts. Our prices: For the 2008 year are;
$5.00 MINIMUM
- Husk @ $0.35 per pound
- Crack @ $0.35 per pound
- Dry @ $0.35 per pound
- Sort, @ $0.65 per pound
- Package @ S0.25 per pound
- Labeling add $0.20 cents per pound
- Computer generated lable setup fee $30.00
These prices are
calculated on the pounds of nuts delivered to MnM's Nut House for processing.
In the processing of Macadamia nuts there is a considerable weight reduction
through all the successive steps. The following example will make you
aware of this reduction.
100 pounds of Macadamia nuts including the green husks after husking will
weigh....50 pounds.
This 50 pounds then dried will weigh ... 40 pounds.
This 40 pounds of dried nuts cracked and then sorted will possibly weigh 14 pounds.
This is assuming
a 35% recovery rate. Various varieties grown in this region can have a
recovery rate of as little as 10% to as much as 45%, but overall averages
are in the 20% to 30%. Add to this customer handling problems and poor
collection practices and you have much less recovery. Please talk with
Mark Marchese and he will give you information sheets that will help you
in the harvesting and handling, of your Macadamia nuts before processing.
MnM's NutHouse is here to help you.

are a small and flexible business ready to meet your demands.
