Every year on the hazelnut farm, magic happens. It’s a place where stories, music, good food, family, and friends come together year round—but as summer comes to an end, things begin to change. On this working farm, the boys watch Dad and Grandpa do the tasks that need to be done as they head to the arbor to play, climb trees, and dream up new adventures. The totes are stacked high on the farm, and the tractor and harvester are ready for Mother Nature’s sign. Even the young boys know that great care must be taken to keep the orchard floor clean and prepared for when the nights become cooler and the nuts begin to fall. Suddenly, harvest time begins and so too the flurry of activity on the farm! Grandpa and Dad are hardworking farmers who have learned how to care for the land. They pass on respect of the hazelnut farm, the place they call home, to the next generation as youngsters watch and grow like the trees on their family farm. Someday, these little boys will be the adults, and then, it will be their turn to work hard and care for the Earth’s many treasures. “A fun portrayal of a multi-generational farming family and farm life told from a youngster’s perspective. Grandpa’s passion for farming and desire to pass on the tradition is genuine and heartfelt.” —TJ Hafner, third-generation family farmer, agronomist

Hazelnuts are a family affair on this farm, going all the way back to great-grandpa Elmer. Each year the family produces 20,000 tons of hazelnuts sold in Oregon, California, and overseas. This is the sequel to Grandpa's Orchard. It is a love letter to the farm, to all farmers, to agriculture, and to the hazelnut. Understand her pride and humility in being part of such a tradition and heritage. There is a place where magic happens each year-a place where stories, music, good food, family, and friends come together year round. ... Grandpa and Dad are hardworking farmers who have learned and passed on the respect of the land, the hazelnut farm, and the place they call home. -Jennifer M. Martin, MSW Beautiful prose from a deep and thoughtful place that will appeal to all ages. Kirk is at once playful and sentimental; the recipe is just right as she conjures images of family and farms, Oregon and coffee, rain and autumn nights. I want to go to this magically hazelnut place. -Kelly Patrick Robbins, father, husband, and outdoor educator

Whenever Kirk would fly DeHavilland Otter N6868B his adult children would say to their kids, "There goes Grandpa," as he would fly by. It wasn't long before the kids would hear an airplane and immediately look to see if it was "Grandpa's Plane." The story came about as Kirk heard accounts of his grandchildren getting excited as his airplane would fly overhead and hearing the grandkids say, "We saw you fly by today Grandpa." Constant requests for rides from the grandkids cemented the storyline.
