There is a road in Louisa County, Virginia, called Wonder Nut Farms Rd. Details are murky, but it does seem like there was, at some point, a farm nearby called Wonder Nut Farms. There may or may not now be a transportation company by the same name near that location.
Wondernut Farm is also the name of a working dairy and meat farm in a remote section of California.
The term “wonder nut” has been used to promote a toxic, dangerous nut marketed as a weight-loss option. That nut, Aleurites moluccanus or candlenut, has been banned in at least four countries. Walnuts and kola nuts (of course) have also been dubbed wonder nuts for their own reasons.
Why share this?
None of us knows how we’ll be remembered when it’s our time to leave this realm for the next. If you’d like, you can write epics, build empires, lead men, establish a bloodline or alleviate others’ suffering.
For my part, I’ll be content to have authored the top Google hit when someone searches for “wonder nut.”
