Why Chestnuts?  Despite their small size, chestnuts are packed with a variety of nutrients.

Chestnuts contain gallic and ellagic acid, which may help protect the heart cells against oxidative stress. They are also a good source of potassium, which is beneficial for the heart.

Our young trees are producing nutritious chestnuts. Chestnuts are a good source of fiber, which has many health benefits.

The fiber found in chestnuts supports digestion, nurtures beneficial gut bacteria, assists in producing short-chain fatty acids, and may aid in weight management.

It is quite unfortunate that the United States imports approximately 7.5 million pounds of chestnuts each year, mainly from Italy, China, and Korea. However, the U.S. possesses the capability to produce some of the finest chestnuts in the world.

Imported chestnuts are picked, packed, stored, shipped, and delivered to a supermarket near you... Whatttttttttt?, local chestnuts are by far the best!

Due to the dedication of several U.S. chestnut breeders, we now possess non-GMO varieties that can thrive in the U.S. without succumbing to blight. Small-scale farmers nationwide are cultivating chestnut orchards, providing locals with a nutritious and healthy option over imported chestnuts that may be several months old.
