Roger Saul
Roger Saul, the mastermind behind global fashion brand Mulberry, parted ways with the fashion industry and turned to farming sustainable produce such as organic spelt in the past and now organic walnuts on his farm in Somerset.

History
The journey began when Roger Saul stumbled upon a hidden treasure – the remains of a Monk's lunch, tucked away in a 16th-century wall.
Intrigued by the discovery of chicken bones, walnuts and scallop shells in the ancient manor house of the Abbot of Glastonbury, Roger decided to plant 300 organic walnut trees as part of his careful restoration of the farm.
Little did he know that it would take nearly two decades for these walnut trees to mature to productivity!
Our Process
When the walnuts are ripe, we dust off the machinery, rev up the tractor for a shake-down and catch the walnuts in a massive tarpaulin.
Then the walnuts are rattled around at super high speed in the skin stripper, cleaning off any green husks, before being loaded into a giant nut dryer to be rolled slowly and gently dry.
Finally, we hand-pack the organic walnuts into recyclable boxes, ready to be whisked away within weeks of their harvest.
