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

The harvest of our 2025 crop of Italian marroni chestnuts is underway and we started selling chestnuts on October 10th at 5:10PM (Pacific).  We will begin shipping orders on Tuesday, October 14th and additional orders on Wednesday 15th.  Please note that if you are unable to purchase an item it is most likely because we are sold out of that size. We will update the shopping cart inventory late next week after we've harvested more chestnuts.

We discontinued sending out email notices in 2020 as demand had grown to the point that it greatly exceeded our supply.  We will continue to provide the best service possible but at our age (where most people have already retired) we do not plan to expand our plantings of chestnut trees.  Along with other crops we grow, we are kept quite busy most of the 12 months of the year.  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.

Medium Size - 1.125 to 1.25 inches in diameter, averaging 34 nuts per pound. $10.00/Pound.

Note: We 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.

Nevada (pollinator) Chestnuts They have good flavor but are sometimes more difficult to peel than our Italian Marroni chestnuts offered above and have a harder shell.  We suggest trying to parboil them for six minutes before roasting.  They average approximately 30-35 nuts per pound.  These are being offered at what we consider to be a good value at $7.50 per pound if weather conditions in late October are favorable. 

 

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.

Unless prior arrangements have been made, orders are shipped via United States Postal Service Priority Mail. We have found this to be the most economical means to ship your chestnuts to you in a timely manner. With the USPS Flat Rate program we are able to ship up to 10 pounds of chestnuts anywhere in the United States for $19.00 and orders of 11 to 18 pounds can be shipped for $26.00. Note:  We do not accept orders for more than 36 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.
