source of mac nut hulls

[terracore]

There is a guy in HA who grows mac nuts and presses them for biodiesel to run his farm equipment. He sells big bags of the pressed byproduct (crushed nut and shells) to people who buy the bags and dump them into water, harvest the floating nut chunks off the top, make mac nut butter from it, and then sell at the farmer's markets. Other people buy the pressed byproduct for chicken feed. The moral of the story is, go to the makuu market tomorrow and ask the people who are selling mac nut butter if they have any hulls for sale, to them it's a byproduct of a byproduct, so may be cheap.

Mauna Loa is one of the big mac nut buyers and they burn their waste to help power their factory, or at least they used to.
