The Truffery
Oak and hazelnut trees, planted for black truffles.
A long-term growing project
Our first truffle trees went into the ground in 2023. Black truffles are demanding to grow, and that is part of the appeal: a chance to put patience, knowledge and careful cultivation to work.
Caring for the truffery
A truffery asks us to look beneath the trees. The relationship between roots, fungus and soil is central to what we hope to grow here.
GROWING / LAND
A project that takes patience
In September 2023, the Farm planted its first 100 truffle trees: oak and hazelnut inoculated with black truffle spores. The truffery is a long-term growing project, shaped by the soil, the climate and careful cultivation.
The trees need to establish before we can know what the planting will produce. For now, our attention is on their health and the conditions beneath them.
01
Oak and hazelnut
The first planting brought together two host trees for black truffles. Their establishment and health are central to the project.
02
Below the surface
Truffles grow in association with tree roots. The project depends on the relationship between tree, fungus and soil, as well as the conditions above ground.
03
Learning over time
This is a young planting. Its progress will shape the next steps, and we’ll share the story as the truffery matures.
