"American Grown Fresh Chestnuts From Our Family Farm to You"

The harvest of our 2026 crop of Italian marroni chestnuts started about two weeks earlier than normal this year and as of October 25th we are sold out. This year's harvest yielded more than the prior three years due to ideal pollination weather and a summer with fewer days of very hot weather. We are shipping orders Monday through Wednesday with orders placed after 8:00AM Pacific shipped the next shipping day.

 

New shipping notice. As of October 19th, we are now shipping higher value orders with destinations outside of California using FedEx 2Day service with no added cost to our customers!

Harvey and Linda are hoping to find someone to purchase our farm so that we can enjoy an active retirement life (we're in our late 60s). We appreciate the loyal support and thoughtful messages received from so many of our long-time customers.  We wish to express our sincere gratitude and wish each of you good health and happiness.

Italian Marroni, We are the only online source for these fine chestnuts which have become immensely popular with our customers since being introduced in 2005.  Flavor and texture of the three sizes offered are the same.  Roasting of the Medium size is faster while Large and Extra Large sizes involve less peeling to achieve the same net weight of kernels for enjoyment.  Note: Each and every chestnut passes over up to three dozen holes in our sorter to accurately sort our chestnuts in the sizes indicated below.

Medium Size - 1.125 to 1.25 inches in diameter, averaging 34 nuts per pound. $11.00/Pound. SOLD OUT

Large Size - 1.25 to 1.375 inches in diameter, averaging 24 nuts per pound. $13.50/Pound. SOLD OUT

Extra Large Size - 1.375 or more inches in diameter, averaging 19 nuts per pound. $16.00/Pound. SOLD OUT

Note: We sometimes ship chestnuts in mesh bags and in boxes with ventilation holes to reduce risk of mildew in transit.  Chestnuts are a high moisture nut and will lose some weight in transit and will lose additional weight during curing and roasting.  Please be assured that we weigh each order carefully at the time of shipment.

 

 

 

 

Orders will be processed through PayPal where you can pay with your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card as well as bank account transfers.  You may adjust quantities when you get to the shopping cart page or return to this ordering page to add other items. Any cancelations or refunds made for reasons other than our mistakes are subject to processing fees charged to us by PayPal as those fees are not refunded to us.

SHIPPING NOTICE: We have had many years of successful shipments using the United States Postal Service Priority Mail but have had some delayed orders in October 2026 so we are now selectively using FedEx for some shipments that, based on our experience, may pose a higher risk of delays.  USPS has been unable to explain the causes for these delays. Some of these shipments will cost us more than we collect and we are absorbing those extra costs. All orders up to a maximum of 30 pounds will be charged the same shipping charge of $22! We do not accept orders for more than 90 pounds.

Mail Orders - We apologize, but we no longer accept orders sent to us by mail.  This requires more work for us and our very busy schedule does not allow us the spare time to handle this process.

If you have any questions regarding your order, please e-mail us at harvey@chestnuts.us .  Please understand that responses may not be very prompt when we are in our peak days of harvesting and shipping.
