Chestnuts and the Holidays: Inseperable

IMG_5792Well it’s chestnut time again. If you want fresh chestnuts for this upcoming holiday season then you need to wake up and get out here. If you are fortunate enough to live in the area you are welcome to come out and pick your own off the ground right under the trees. It doesn’t get any fresher than that. We pick our nuts daily, so that they don’t sit around getting hot, moldy, and old. What we don’t use or sell gets thrown into the freezer, where they keep very well for a considerable time. Because of the absence of any oils in the nut, chestnuts quickly become rancid if not kept cool. If you don’t plan to use them within a few days, simply pop them in a freezer bag and freeze.

Give us a call to set up a time to pick yours. Be quick about it though; supplies are limited and they won’t last long.
