September 3, 2025
Welcome to Field Notes from the Farm, where we take you behind the scenes with chestnut growers across the country. In this episode, we’re visiting Angle Acres chestnut farm in Michigan—home to Scott Smith and his multi-generation family orchard.
Scott, along with his children Amy and Tom, welcomed us with incredible hospitality, deep knowledge, and a passion that’s keeping the chestnut movement alive and growing. Whether you’re new to chestnut farming or just nut-curious, this visit is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
Let’s head to the orchard.
