Try My Nuts: Gourmet Nuts and Hot Sauces Near the Old Mill

About

Try My Nuts is one of the more lighthearted shops in the Old Mill district, a small nut company with a cheeky name, a sense of humor on every sign and a generous sampling counter. It sits on Old Mill Avenue, so it slips easily into a morning of browsing the Old Mill shops, and it is a practical stop for stocking the cabin with snacks for hikes and scenic drives.

The shelves cover nearly every kind of nut, from almonds, cashews, pecans and walnuts to pistachios, macadamias and Brazil nuts, many of them seasoned or candied. There are snack mixes, sesame sticks, flavored corn, fudge, chocolate, jerky and spice rubs, plus a large wall of hot sauces for the brave. Visitors single out the buttered cashews, chocolate-covered peanuts and a sweet-and-salty mix, and the staff will happily let you taste before you buy.

The shop is at 121 Old Mill Avenue; park in the Old Mill district and walk over. Store hours are 10 AM to 6 PM, and the owners note that winter hours can vary, so call first in the off season. Can't carry it all home? The store ships its snacks, and chocolate items ship only during cooler months. Gift cards are sold online only and cannot be used in the store.
