Our Story

Brad and Melanie Jones started growing chestnut orchards at EBB Farms, "Expect Big Bucks," in 2015 and launched the United Chestnuts brand in 2023 to support the growing chestnut community in the United States.

Our Story

Nestled in the rolling hills of Kentucky, EBB Farms is home to Brad and Melanie Jones, two passionate advocates for the chestnut industry. What started as a personal journey into chestnut farming quickly grew into a mission to support the entire community—growers, consumers, and industry partners alike.

Recognizing the need for greater awareness and market expansion in the U.S., they launched United Chestnuts, a brand designed to connect, educate, and empower chestnut growers while making this incredible nut more accessible to consumers. Through United Chestnuts, growers can tap into shared branding, marketing, and industry resources to elevate their businesses, while consumers gain access to fresh, locally grown chestnuts.

By working together, we’re not just growing chestnut trees—we’re growing a movement.
