The harvesting process is made fun and easy when you’re using a Bag-A-Nut Harvester. Once you’ve collected all the nuts into crates, baskets, bags, or bins, the job of sorting can begin. There will most likely be sticks, leaves, the occasional rotten nut, and other debris mixed in with the nuts, and it can be a long process to sort through.
There really isn’t a right or wrong way to sort. It just depends on the quantity of nuts you have and your preferred style. Some choose to get it done by hand on the tailgate of their truck, right on the orchard. Others may use commercial grade sorting tables, which are definitely an investment.
Some people like to get more creative and make their own sorting tables. This is done by building a wooden frame with a wire rack on top and attaching a fan blower to blow away lighter debris. At Bag-A-Nut, we’ve recently come out with our own version of a sorting table, and it’s pretty cool.
The Sorting Table Pro provides a sorting grate, low amp vibrating motor to help drop dirt and debris, and a hopper to drop the good nuts into with a slide gate that releases the nuts into whatever container you’d like. The table is lightweight so you can move it where you need it. You have the option to keep the legs on so it’s freestanding, or you can remove the legs and mount it to a standard 2” vehicle receiver by way of the included hitch bar. This table will make the harvesting process much more efficient.
Whatever way you choose to sort nuts, make sure to store them in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use them!
