Chestnuts From Our
Family Farm to You

Chestnuts are sold out for the season! In 2009 we began taking orders for our Colossal variety of chestnuts on September 18th and sold out in the second week of December. We also began taking order for the Italian Marroni on October 14th and in just five days sold more than we harvested in 2008! However, we're pleased to report that the work of our 2007 grafting project worked out well and we had a doubling of production in 2009 and hope for even more in 2010. Here's a 4 minute video of our orchard just as we were beginning to start harvest of our Italian Marroni varieties of chestnuts on October 7, 2009:

We've also just added a video to our gallery taken at the beginning of the 2009 Marroni harvest! Many long-time customers have ordered been placing four or more chestnut orders a year for the past several years. Won't you please join our "family" of customers? Read an expert opinion! The food magazine, Eating Well, published an article in 2007 calling us "Our Favorite Chestnut Grower!" You may read the article by clicking HERE. Please check out the testimonials from other customers who have been very pleased with the quality of our chestnuts. We've now included a short video to our testimonials page furnished by a long-time customer so you can hear the comments directly from our customer! The quality of our chestnuts and detail to customer service are the primary reasons our customers keep coming back. Each year many customers have placed four or more orders, with many buying more than 50 pounds each! We also have chestnut roasting equipment available year-round. Our fresh chestnuts are sweet and are enjoyed by everyone whether they prefer to prepare them by roasting, boiling, or including them in their favorite recipe. Some customers also enjoy eating our chestnuts raw. If you are concerned that you don't quite know how to cook chestnuts, don't worry because we include storage, preparation, and roasting instructions with all new orders. Our chestnuts are among the largest available anywhere and are favored over those found elsewhere by our established customers. Although hand harvesting requires extra work, we believe this helps maintain top quality. Our chestnuts are washed, sorted, and refrigerated immediately after harvest to ensure freshness for several months after harvest. Buying directly from us, the grower, ensures you get the freshest chestnuts possible. In 2005 we first offered a limited quantity of Italian Marroni grown on our family chestnut farm. They have continued to be an extremely popular item and, because of customer demand, in 2007 we began the process of grafting more of our trees to these varieties and hope to have a large supply of the Marroni by 2009. In February 2009 we also planted another 200 trees and grafted these to Marroni varieties so our production should increase substantially over the next vive years. In 2007 we began growing a second orchard of chestnuts, however, and are still supplying the Colossal variety. We also offer chestnut roasting pans, and chestnut knives to help you enjoy your chestnut purchase. If you're shopping for a gift, we now also offer a gift basket option as well. Please click on the "Ordering" button to the left for details of our chestnuts and related products. Please check out our other pages for chestnut recipes, roasting instructions, and other helpful information. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to harvey@chestnuts.us today. The October 2005 edition of Sunset magazine suggested purchasing chestnuts directly from the grower to get the best quality and we agree! By buying your chestnuts directly from the grower, you're getting the freshest chestnuts possible. The chestnuts and chestnut knife photographed for the article were purchased from Correia Chestnut Farm! The author was pleased with her original purchase in the fall of 2004 and chose to buy more from us for the magazine article. Our chestnuts have been used in ads or publications by the Martha Stewart Living, Ritz Carlton, and others. Our most important customer, however, is the everyday consumer like you! Thanks for visiting! Harvey, Linda, and Michael Correia
