For as long as I remember, we've been rolling our ankles every fall on black walnuts. Never giving them much thought beyond being a nuisance. At best a good God-made baseball while playing in the woods. Why it took me so long to realize the beauty and value in this God-given gift right in my backyard, I don't know. 

The idea for Fawcett Forest Farm came to life this past winter. I read you could make the most delicious syrup from black walnut trees, so I thought, why not try? What started as a fun idea, became an obsession. We tapped a few trees and made an incredible little batch of black walnut syrup. One idea rolled into the next, and Fawcett Forest Farm began to grow- a place for seasonal goods, made from and inspired by the land.
