FRESH CHESTNUTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Chestnut season arrives right alongside cooler Midwest weather, making fresh chestnuts a natural fit for fall cooking and holiday gatherings. Roast them, use them in savory dishes or desserts, or share them as a seasonal food gift.

​

We set aside part of each harvest in controlled-atmosphere storage, which helps preserve freshness later into the season so chestnuts can still be shipped as Thanksgiving and Christmas approach.

​​

Limited quantities available.

MAKE A TRIP TO THE ORCHARD

Want to experience the chestnut harvest for yourself? Each fall, Valley Chestnuts opens our Southeast Iowa orchard for U-Pick, giving visitors the chance to walk the orchard and gather fresh chestnuts for themselves.

​

We welcome visitors from across the Midwest, including Minnesota. U-Pick availability depends on the harvest, so check our current information and schedule before making the trip.

ENJOYING FRESH CHESTNUTS

Fresh chestnuts contain more moisture than most nuts, so they need a little different care after they arrive. Learn how to store, cure, and prepare your fresh chestnuts for the best flavor and quality.
