We are a family owned and operated Chestnut Farm in Georgia. Nuts are available for sale in the Fall about mid-September through mid-October.
We have around 500 Dunstan Chestnut trees. The Dunstan was developed by Robert Dunstan by crossing a blight free American chestnut with several Chinese varieties. The result is a nice mostly Chinese chestnut that is easy to peel. In 2019 we harvested 300 pounds of chestnuts and in 2020 we harvested over 1200 lb! In 2021 we were hit by a late frost and only had 300 pounds to sell. So since we cannot control the weather, when you order we will fill the orders first come first serve and refund any order we cannot fill giving you the option to buy another size first. Please bear with us as we learn how to best market our nuts.
We are also transitioning to organic growing methods and have not used chemicals on or around our trees for four years now. Below you see us spreading the organic top dressing around our trees.

We are members of the Chestnut Growers of America organization. This link takes you to their website’s recipe page and you can see the many things you can make with chestnuts.
Recently several people have contacted me with questions about chestnut farming in the south. So I decided to share what I have learned about it in the 10 years we have been in operation. I have a Youtube channel called “Deep South Chestnut Farmer” where I have started to put up what we do in a series of very amateurish videos. Hopefully I will get better at it. 🙂 Click on the link and subscribe!

Here is some feedback from our eBay account:
Dunstans arrived in great condition. Second year I’ve bought chestnuts from this seller. Highly recommend AAA+.
Chestnuts were very fresh and tasty. Great communication and rapid shipping. Will look forward to get more next season. Tks.
