Chestnuts for the Holidays - Delivered to your Home
Weevil free chestnuts
Chestnut weevils have never been observed in our orchard because we are far outside the native range of chestnuts. Therefore, we guarantee our chestnuts will be weevil free and not sprayed with chemicals to kill weevils.
Highest quality fresh chestnuts for sale
All our chestnuts are from grafted cultivars that are known around the world for their large size, ease of peeling, and sweetness. Our chestnuts are not from seedling trees that can produce nuts that vary in size, ease to peel, and sweetness.
Sweetest chestnuts
Our chestnuts are grown in the cool and wet climate of Northern Michigan. Therefore, our chestnuts have a much fuller sweetness than nuts grown anywhere else in North American - with the exception being northern Washington State.
The freshest chestnuts for the Holidays
Our chestnuts are harvested in the middle to late October which is about 1 month later than most other chestnuts in North America. Therefore, they are fresher for Thankgiving, Christmas, and New Year celebrations.
Exceptional chestnut care
All our chestnuts are stored at 34 F and in controlled atmosphere units to keep them extra fresh before they are shipped to you. They also are hand picked so they have no machine marks or bruises.
Costumer service excellence
We harvest and ship all the nuts as a family. We support you because you support us. If you call or e-mail, you will talk to Abby and Nick and they will help immediately. That's why all our google reviews are 5-star.
Free shipping
All our prices include the cost of shipping. You will not be charged any unexpected fees when you checkout! Sorry, we can not ship to California, Oreagon, or Washington.
