The Nut Factory

The other day I mentioned that we had gone to the nut factory, Westcott Nuts and Dried Fruit, near Dinnersmith in Irvington. Take Springfield Ave towards Newark making a right on Lyons Ave, then a left on Coit Street. The factory is located at 93 Coit on the right in a non descript building across from the mattress factory(I have heard good things about them too). The mattress factory has a much bigger sign than Wescott. The owner, Jacob, buys raw nuts and roasts them there in the factory. His prices are great and he will create nut mix on request. He also has dried fruit, apricots, cherries, mango. He welcomes retail; it is possible to walk in and get any quantity. He owns the place and takes pride in what he does. There is not much to see. There is no retail space. Retail and wholesale customers stand in the middle of the factory floor. I love this place. Thanks to my friend Kathy telling me abut this place years ago.
