Coaldale Walnuts
Coaldale Walnuts is a family-run business nestled on the banks of the Coal River near historic Richmond, Tasmania. Established in 1997 by Phil and Jane Dening, the orchard now produces award-winning walnuts and pickled walnuts, grown sustainably in the valley’s fertile alluvial soils. Today, the next generation, Sophie and her husband Brad, continue the family’s commitment to quality and innovation.
The orchard’s Chandler and Franquette varieties thrive in the cool climate, producing walnuts that are fresh, flavoursome and full of health benefits. Harvesting is done with care, with nuts collected only once they have fallen naturally from the trees, then carefully washed, sorted and dried. The result is premium walnuts that are enjoyed across Tasmania and beyond, sold in-shell, as kernels, or through their online shop and local stockists.
Coaldale is also Australia’s largest producer of pickled walnuts, a delicacy made by harvesting green walnuts in summer and pickling them whole in Tasmanian apple cider vinegar, sugar and spices. These unique treats pair perfectly with cheese, cold meats, or hearty meals and have earned multiple gold medals at national food awards.
Visitors can also book farm tours, learning about the orchard while tasting walnuts straight from the source.
