NEARLY 1,000 WALNUT TREES ON A 23-DECARE PLOT
Known for productions such as 'Kaybolan Yıllar,' 'Dudaktan Kalbe,' 'Yer Gök Aşk,' and 'Gurbet Kadın,' Burak Hakkı left Istanbul years ago and settled in Çanakkale. Without giving up acting, Hakkı turned to agricultural production and grows between 800 and 1,000 walnut trees on his approximately 23-decare plot. The actor, whose orchard contains Chandler and Fernor walnut trees, continues production using professional methods. Receiving support from a company, Hakkı also installed a weather station on his land. Thus he began using technology to monitor conditions during production and manage labor needs.
THE TREES ARE THE SAME AGE AS HIS SON
Burak Hakkı's farming journey dates back to 2008. The famous actor stated that he has owned land and been involved in farming since the year his son was born. Hakkı explained that the 18-year-old walnut trees in his orchard are the same age as his son, and he gained experience in production over the years. Noting that the amount of produce obtained from the trees varies, the actor said that some trees yield 5-6 kilograms of walnuts, while others yield 20-25 kilograms. He stated that with proper care and suitable conditions, up to 50 kilograms of produce can be obtained from a single tree.
WALNUTS ARE 480 LIRA PER KILO! HERE ARE THE SALE PRICES
Burak Hakkı, who put the walnuts he obtained from the 2026 harvest up for sale, set the price per kilogram of his products at 480 lira. The famous actor packages the walnuts he grows using organic fertilizer after fully drying them and delivers them to his customers. He describes his products as light-colored, thin-shelled, and extra quality.
HE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH NEARLY 10 TONS OF DEMAND
Selling his walnuts directly to his customers, Burak Hakkı is also closely involved in the order processes. The actor tracks the shipment of the prepared boxes and also reviews the feedback from his buyers. Explaining that demand for his products has reached approximately 10 tons, Hakkı stated that he has difficulty keeping up with his customers due to the intense orders. Thus, the walnut growing he started as a hobby years ago turned into a business for the famous actor, with regular production and sales.
