Come check out this family run macadamia production farm, forestry project and restaurant. Open since 1989, the Valhalla Macadamia Nut Farm has been promoting sustainable farming with macadamia trees in Guatemala and Central America by donating macadamia seedlings to indigenous farmers for over 30 years. Valhalla is the result of the dream and vision of its founders, Lawrence and Emilia Gottschamer, whose passion for the preservation of our environment is apparent in every corner of the farm and led them to their desire to contribute in a meaningful way to a solution.
Planting macadamia trees addresses directly important issues that affect our environment today, such as deforestation, provision of income and food security. By promoting planting macadamia in Guatemala and since 2015 in Nicaragua, the Valhalla Macadamia Project aims to introduce macadamia and other productive projects to rural communities and create markets for innovative natural products focusing on ecology and sustainability. The farm has also developed the agro-industrial practices they use to produce their own brand of macadamia nuts and nut-based products, all from the production of organically and sustainably grown macadamia nuts from their proprietary orchard.
At the Valhalla Macadamia Nut Farm you can also find a restaurant in an open-air setting, in the garden under the macadamia trees. Home to the famous macadamia pancakes and the tastiest macadamia-smoked ribs around we now offer delivery around Antigua. There is also a small SPA where you can program therapeutic as well as beauty treatments using macadamia nut oil, which is a very good moisturising agent for the skin.
Get a free tour of our orchard, sample macadamia nuts and chocolates, relax for a free facial and enjoy delicious food. Entrance is free and we are open every day from 8AM-4.30PM
