Sweet and fresh chestnuts for the Holidays
Our chestnuts ripen in late October and are the freshest chestnuts you can buy for the Holidays. Our chestnuts are very sweet because they are grown in the cool climate of Northern Michigan.
Large and beautiful chestnuts
Our family and friends pick up every chestnut. No machine marks. No dull appearance. Our chestnuts are large and from grafted cultivars known worldwide for quality.
Weevil-Free and Pest-Free
We are outside of the range of nearly every chestnut pest. Your nuts will never have weevils, and your nuts will not be treated with heat or chemicals.
Chestnut Roasting Season Has Begun
Chestnut harvest is over and we are shipping chestnuts - October 25, 2026.
Thanks to all those who pre-ordered chestnuts through our on-line store and follow the farm on YouTube. Seed chestnuts were mostly shipped last week, and we are shipping culinary chestnuts as I write.
We are very pleased with the nut size and quality. The picture above is a random grab of 30 chestnuts that were cut in half to check for internal chestnut rot. None of the 30 chestnuts showed signs of rotting.
All our chestnuts are stored at 34 F so they will stay fresh until the New Year. Please continue ordering chestnuts when you want them and we will ship them out typically the same or next day.
Our attention is now shifting to cutting Christmas greenery for wreath makers. Stay tuned as we share all we know about 'brush cutting' as it is called in Northern Michigan.
Take care and have a good week! The Abby, Nick, and 5 kidos.
Chestnuts everywhere and all at once.
