What are our farm fresh chestnuts?
Our farm fresh chestnuts bring the taste of Kentucky’s orchards straight to your door. Each nut is hand-harvested, washed, and cooled quickly at EBB Farms, so it stays fresh and viable. As a result, every chestnut in this 10 lb bag is ready for roasting, cooking, or planting.
Harvest runs from mid-September through October 2026. Because fresh chestnuts move fast from tree to buyer, we recommend reserving your bag early.

Grown with care at EBB Farms
At EBB Farms, we raise Chinese hybrid chestnut trees using regenerative practices. As part of the United Chestnuts network, we are making chestnut farming visible, viable, and collaborative nationwide. Our team harvests nuts by hand, washes them, and cools them quickly to preserve flavor and planting viability. That combination makes them ideal as both culinary and seed nuts.
Why choose chestnuts?
Chestnuts are unlike most other nuts. They are naturally low in fat, high in fiber, and packed with vitamin C, B vitamins, and antioxidants. In fact, chestnuts are the only nut with a significant amount of vitamin C, so they act more like a fruit than a typical nut. Their light, slightly sweet flavor makes them a healthier choice for both snacks and recipes.
A nut with tradition
For centuries, chestnuts have been part of fall and winter celebrations around the world. From open-fire roasting to hearty stews, they have always brought people together. When you order from EBB Farms, you enjoy those same timeless flavors while supporting sustainable farming in the United States.
Backed by the EBB Farms learning hub
EBB Farms is the farm lab for United Chestnuts, the learning and development hub for the chestnut community. So every bag of chestnuts connects you to more than a snack or a seed source. Visit unitedchestnuts.com for planting guides, grower videos, and recipes from EBB Farms and beyond.

Preorder and shipping window
All farm fresh chestnuts ship starting mid-September through October, timed to the harvest. Fresh chestnuts keep best when they move quickly from tree to buyer, so we do not hold stock for off-season shipping.
Chestnuts are packed in breathable bags to protect freshness during transit. As a result, orders ship quickly once harvested. Please refrigerate your chestnuts as soon as they arrive, because that keeps every nut ready for your kitchen or your soil.
