American Grown Fresh Chestnuts From Our Family Farm to You

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

Our 2018 crop of Italian Marroni chestnuts is developing well and we expect a large harvest, though we expect harvest to be a bit later than last year. We hope to have marroni available for ordering sometime in early October. Please sign up for our email notices (fill out form below for new crop updates).  We hope to have a record harvest this year and hope to have chestnuts available for ordering until early or mid-November.

We also grow several trees of an early French chestnut variety, Bouche de Betizac. These are the earliest and largest chestnuts we grow and we do have some of these available for ordering immediately. Since our supply of this is fairly small, we take orders for these only by email (we could too easily sell more than we have available if we offered them on our ordering page. These are all from 1.375 inches up to 2 inches in diameter and priced at $7.00 per pound. Orders are subject to 5 pound minimum and shipping is $13.00 for orders of 5-10 pounds and $18.00 for orders of 11-18 pounds. If you'd like to order these for shipping during the week of September 24th, please send an email to us at harveyc@gmail.com and we will send a PayPal invoice via email to complete your order.

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: For a few years, up through 2014, we sold our marroni sorted into the Medium and a "Large+" size.  Beginning in 2015 we started sorting further to sort out the largest chestnuts into the "Extra Large" category to provide a more uniform product size.  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.  $6.00 per pound.  Available early October 2018.

Large Size - 1.25 to 1.375 inches in diameter, averaging 24 nuts per pound.  $7.00 per pound,  Available early October 2018.

Extra Large Size - 1.375 or more inches in diameter, averaging 19 nuts per pound.  $8.00 per pound.  Available early October 2018.
