What our customers say

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT OUR CHESTNUTS
"We split the order between 3 different people.  Out of the 10 lbs, there was not 1 bad chestnut.  If I had bought from the local grocery store there would have been 2 ? 3 bad out of every 10 chestnuts.  These were GRRREAT.   I have never had chestnut so fresh and tasty".  John, Powell, TN

"For the past 30 years or so I depended on the only chestnuts available in the east: imported Italian chestnuts.  I always dreaded the task of preparing them.  Although they were large, the meat was contained by a membrane that usually was folded into the meat and required not only peeling, but breaking up and removing the internal membrane.  Also, there was about a 5% rejection rate at Thanksgiving due to spoilage.  By Christmas, the rejection rate was more like 20%.
The nuts I bought from you are absolutely perfect!  There were no rejects.  There was no taking the meat apart to remove the membrane and the result was the sweetest nut I've tasted since I was a child in the 1940s.  I have, I estimate, about f25% more useable chestnut meat than I can ever remember getting out of a pound.
As long as you're in business, I'll be back.  Do you mind if I tell my friends about your products?"
Paula, Topeka, KS

"I love your chestnuts.  I was in Chicago 3 weeks ago and bought some chestnuts there but they did not have the freshness like yours.  Thank you and thank you.  I ate so much chestnut last night and again this morning for breakfast."
Toiy, Independence, MO

I want to receive the chestnut this week because I will be travelling on Monday to join my family for the Thanksgiving. And I want to bring along the delicious chestnuts for my family to enjoy.
Also want to let you know that I really enjoy your chestnut.  And, I appreciate the hard work and sustainable farming you do to make the organic chestnut affordable for us to enjoy.
Josephine, Woodside, NY

I value you and your products.  I have never received chestnuts like yours--organic, fresh and so quickly1  Superb quality.  Thanks again. 
Tomasz, Lodi, NJ
