In August of 2022, Brian M. Buxton and his son Chris Buxton bought a 45-acre abandoned farm in Mollala, Clackamas County, Oregon. Brian had been searching for ten years in the Willamette Valley for the right kind of soil in which to establish a hazelnut orchard — and he found it - together with water rights. About 99% of America’s hazelnuts are grown in the perfect climate and rich volcanic soil of the Willamette Valley: the “Goldilocks Zone” —latitude ~45 degrees north.Chris and Brian subsequently formed an Oregon limited liability company (LLC) with Brian as managing member and Chris as member/partner.Because the land had not been farmed in 40 years, it was overgrown with timber and brush; in the summer of 2023 we hired Schmitz Timber Management of Silverton, Oregon to harvest and sell the timber while also clearing the brush and establishing gravel roads. The open-sided metal barn was also built, and a 40-foot-long metal container was placed alongside the barn.Later in 2023, Brian, a long-time beekeeper, merged Buxton Apiaries - a sole proprietorship — into Buxton Farms, LLC. He then placed some of his hives on the farm. He also began tapping the remaining Big Leaf Maple trees for maple sap after joining the Oregon Maple Project.The vision for this farm is to plant ~35 acres of hazelnut bushes, training them as multi-trunk hazelnut trees using the Polly O, Yamhill, York, and McDonald varieties. Because the farm lies in the Molalla River flood plain (~150 meters from the river), there is ample water from a table that is high. So, after year three (3) of the planting, these hazelnuts will be dry-farmed using organic practices. The remaining ten acres consist of protected wetlands, woodlands, and the cantonment area. Our contribution to the hazelnut market as a commodity with our existing relationships through the co-ops and businesses primarily in Oregon will be during year seven (7).
