Meet Our Family

Small Farm, Big Heart

Family Owned & Operated β€” Central Missouri

Grunt Nuts is a small, family-run walnut farm nestled in Central Missouri. We believe in doing things the right way β€” taking care of the land, growing something we're proud of, and building a legacy that can be passed down for generations.

We're not a corporation. We're a family that looked out at the Missouri soil and decided to plant roots β€” literally. Every tree we plant, every walnut we grow, carries the care and intention that only a family operation can offer.

We're at the very beginning of this journey, and we'd love for you to follow along as our farm comes to life.

Service. Sacrifice. Stewardship.

John McClellan β€” Founder

John McClellan served his country as a Marine Corps infantryman β€” a Grunt. He was wounded in combat three times and awarded the Purple Heart on each occasion. His service is a testament to his courage, commitment, and unwavering dedication to something greater than himself.

That kind of sacrifice doesn't fade. It becomes part of who you are. It shapes how you work, how you lead, and how you show up every single day. John brings that same grit, discipline, and Marine Corps values to every acre of Grunt Nuts farm.

The name says it all. A Grunt growing nuts β€” built on sacrifice, driven by purpose, rooted in patriotism, and proud of every step of the journey. Semper Fidelis.

2028 & Beyond

Growing Into the Future

As our trees mature, we'll bring premium Missouri-grown walnuts to market. We also hope to support other veterans making the transition to agriculture β€” because nobody should have to figure it out alone.
