We have had a few calls for chestnuts in the past few weeks, so we thought it best to send out a little update. Chestnuts are a very perishable nut, and unfortunately the season for them is well past. Our quantities are small (we only have two trees) and this year’s supply is long gone. We would love for anybody who wants some to have some. If that includes you, please contact us in early September, as they begin falling around that time.
Most folks associate chestnuts with the Christmas season. Unfortunately, they do not ripen in Oklahoma during December, but in September and early October. They do not keep outside of refrigeration, and therefore we cannot make them available, even by cold storage, during December.
Jarrahdale – What a Name
We do, however have some of the finest cooking pumpkins on the planet. The variety is called Jarrahdale and they look nothing like your typical Jack-O-Lantern, which happens to be the worst of all choices for cooking. We also have a few Butternut pumpkins that are another good cooking “pumpkin” choice. They are also just plain good eating right out of the oven– cut in half, with a pat of butter in the cavity, and foil covering the top. Call up and get your Christmas Cooking Pumpkin today!
