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.
The Best Time of Year - Chestnut Season
The orchard keeps giving up massive amounts of chestnuts - October 18th, 2026
The chestnut harvest is about 80% complete and the nut quality and quantity has been outstanding. Thank you to all those who came to our second Open Orchard and chestnut U-pick event last Saturday! What an outstanding couple of weekends we had. If you are interested in scheduling a private U-Pick, call Abby at 517-740-1551. The chestnuts should still be plentiful for another week.
Thanks to all those who pre-ordered chestnuts through our on-line store and follow the farm on YouTube. We are going to start shipping seed nut orders this week and then will start shipping culinary chestnuts the week after.
We are very pleased with the nut size and quality. We are very thankful for perfect weather and our new irrigation system.
Take care and have a good week! The Abby, Nick, and 5 kidos and all pickers from the local community.
Chestnuts everywhere and all at once.
