Paul and Lee escaped the city and bought into a hazelnut orchard. They are a great example of making a base product really work. Through their label, Harvest Glen Hazelnuts, they sell their nuts in all forms, including making hazelnut flour for those gluten-free types. Their packaging and product range builds on their story. Check them out on Facebook.
