Cosford Cobnut Gift Bag – Small 2020 Harvest – Out of stock – See you next year
Our Cosford cobnut gift bags are the perfect present for anyone who loves cobnuts at Christmas and nuts generally. Our gift bags come in weights of 500g or 1kg.
The Cosford Cobnut is a really special cobnut. It has an excellent taste, has minimal felt and is considered by some to be even better than the Kent Cobnut! If you want an original, rural and wholesome gift then our cobnut gift bags are the answer!
Cobnuts have a nationally recognised nutritional profile and are said to be fantastic sources of protein:
Cobnut kernels typically contain 12%-17% protein by dry weight, and about 10%-15% fibre. Cobnuts are very rich in vitamin E and in calcium, typically containing about 21mg and 141mg per 100g kernel (dry weight) respectively. They provide about 0.4mg and 0.55mg of vitamins B1 and B6 respectively per 100g dry weight.
Our gift bags are available in bag of 500g or 1kg. The bags are perfectly reusable with a drawstring that seals the bag. To avoid the nuts overly drying you should store the nut in a salad draw.

Potted Gunslebert Cobnut Trees – Out of Stock
We now have a number of Gunslebert Cobnut trees available in 7 Litre pots – We are out of 3 litre Gunslebert Cobnut trees. These trees are on British grown roots and are suitable for planting most places in the UK.
These are ideal for planting and producing high yielding trees. Many garden centers currently sell seedling trees and these usually yield very few cobnuts. These trees are the same trees that we grow on the farm and if properly maintained should produce a good crop of Kent Cobnuts.
Cobnuts are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. In winter the catkins on the trees brighten up the trees.
Two varieties are deemed preferable for pollination but not essential as common hedge row nut can assist with pollination.
The trees do vary in size and shape but are generally between 30cm and a meter. We cannot guarantee the size of the trees selected for delivery but every care is taken to select a good tree.
On Arrival:
We advise watering the pot and planting promptly into the ground or into a large pot for later planting if required. The pot should have room to allow further root growth. The tree will need a healthy watering over the first few days.
If planting dig a hole twice the size of the pot and tease out the roots.Make sue that the root ball is level and not at an angle. Water regularly and monitor.
The aim after this point will be to manage the growth of branches. These should be allowed to form at least 60cm from the ground.
A useful pruning and management guide is available from the Kent Cobnut Association. Click Here

Red Squirrel Cobnut Mix / Squirrel Feed – Currently Dispatching 2023 Dehusked stock. Pre-orders now open for Husked 2024 Stock
Roughway Farm has supplied cobnuts for Red Squirrel conservation projects across the UK for over 50 years. From Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands our cobs have been enjoyed by our native squirrels.
Our red squirrel cobnuts are mixed cobnut varieties that are suited for squirrel consumption. Our squirrel nuts vary in terms of size and appearance. Our squirrel nuts are all grown in Kent and are certainly enjoyed by the squirrels!
We currently sell a range of weights from smaller packets for home use in gardens to larger bulk quantities in 20kg boxes. Please note we now place all sack orders in boxes due to a request from our courier. If you want a larger order please email and we are happy to organise.
Our Squirrel Cobnuts are harvested between September and October each year.
Please keep in mind that our cobs are kept cool to keep the kernels in good condition. This means that husked nuts in particular can be a little damp late season (Late Nov- March) and so should be allowed to air on arrival. The dehusked nuts by December and into the new year are generally drier and are preferred by some customers for handling and appearance. The squirrels however are happy with both.
If you want British sourced Squirrel food then we recommend buying from Roughway.
—————————————————————————————
This product is not extensively sorted to keep costs low. These nuts are not recommended for human consumption due to storage and the ranging quality and size.
For orders of over 140kg we recommend emailing store@roughwayfarm.co.uk
