This site is sponsored by Wellwood Wallace, a small Wallace is one of the coldest parts of Victoria in Winter and so is good for walnut trees which need that sort of climate. We used to breed Embden geese. They graze beneath
the walnut trees and swim in the dams.

Australian
business enterprise devoted to growing walnut trees in the old fashioned
way, and to using walnuts to make walnut oil. We also sell
first class fresh vacuum packed walnuts. We vacuum pack the shelled walnuts to keep them particularly fresh for walnut
oil making. Our walnut oil is cold pressed so that it retains its delicate
nutty flavour and preserves the vitamins found in the nuts. The Wellwood
walnut orchard is at Wallace near Ballarat, Victoria. We also sell walnut shell and crushed walnut shell for a variety of purposes. 
Mature Embden geese typically lay less than a dozen eggs a year and so
are not usually bred for their eggs. 
Because they feed mainly on grass we thought they would be ideal for keeping the grass
short under the walnut trees, which is why we got them. The problem is they do not eat weeds or tall grass and they break some of the irrigation sprinklers. We look after our geese, but they have not been a commercial success. Goose eggs are about three times the size of hen eggs
and are said to make superb fluffy omelettes but with a very high cholesterol content. 
We
hope to encourage more people to take a crack at cooking with walnuts
and walnut oil and to share some of their treasured recipes with us.
Of course, we also want to encourage people to
