ProductionProfile.

Chandler walnut orchards follow a predictable production curve. Years 1–2 are establishment. First harvest at year 3. Production ramps through year 10, when orchards reach full maturity.

WhyThis Land.

Denizli-Baklan has the specific profile Chandler walnut requires: cold winters for proper dormancy, hot dry summers, consistent water table, and loamy well-drained soils.

Location · Climate + Water + Title + Market
Continental climate with 800+ chill hours annually — a requirement for walnut dormancy and proper budbreak. Summers are hot and dry, aligning with walnut's preference for sunny, low-humidity growing seasons.
Established groundwater table with documented water rights. The orchard draws from a dedicated borehole with solar-powered drip irrigation — minimising evaporation and water waste compared to flood irrigation.
Freehold zone with clean title history. Türkiye's property law permits direct freehold ownership by foreign participants. Title is registered with the Tapu (land registry) in the participant's name or in the SPV's name depending on the structure chosen.
Proximity to İzmir port (250 km) for export. Türkiye has existing walnut export relationships with Germany, the UK, the Middle East, and Russia. Domestic Türkiye consumption is also substantial and growing.

QuestionsAbout TheTurkey Project.

FAQ · Walnut + Region + Mechanics
Chandler is the industry-standard walnut variety for commercial production: high yield, late-leafing (protecting against spring frost), thin-shelled, and with strong export demand. Franquette is included as a pollinizer because Chandler is self-compatible but benefits from a pollinizer to maximise yield.
Late spring frost is the most material weather risk for walnut. Chandler's late-leafing characteristic significantly reduces exposure. The Denizli-Baklan micro-climate has historically low incidence of late frost. Where available, parametric weather insurance is used to cover tail risk. Weather risk cannot be eliminated — it is one of the real risks of agricultural participation.
The project operates on a dedicated borehole with documented water rights under Turkish law. The regional groundwater table is monitored and has been stable over the measurement period. Solar-powered drip irrigation minimises water consumption relative to flood or sprinkler systems — an important consideration for long-term sustainability.
Yes, subject to the consent mechanisms in the SPV constitutional documents. Tom Projects maintains an internal register of participants seeking to buy or sell shares in order to facilitate transfers. We do not guarantee liquidity — this is not a public market — but transfers do happen and are supported.
Years 1 and 2 are establishment years with no commercial yield. During this period, participants receive photo updates, monthly expense ledgers, and agronomic reports. Field work continues year-round: land preparation, planting, irrigation commissioning, and early-growth management. The orchard is not idle — it is under active development.
Denizli-Baklan combines the specific climate profile Chandler walnut requires with established water infrastructure, clean freehold mechanics, and export access via İzmir port. Other Turkish walnut regions have different trade-offs — some have lower water tables, some have less predictable frost patterns, some have complicated title history. Baklan offers the best combination of factors for long-duration walnut production.
