The Largest Chestnut Orchard in Arkansas

Grown from seed each March and among the largest first-season trees you’ll find anywhere in the United States.

Chestnut trees are available for pre-order and will be ready this fall.

Our trees typically grow to about 6 feet, with some reaching up to 9 feet in their first year.

Customers have reported getting chestnuts on their trees as early as the second year!

Why Chestnuts?

Chestnuts offer far more than their traditional holiday use. They’re exceptionally versatile, perfect for baking, cooking, and even crafting unique beers and spirits.

Completely gluten-free!

Yesterday we had the privilege of attending the Northwest Arkansas Local Food Systems Conference at The Jones Center in Springdale, AR. Surrounded by growers, educators, chefs, market leaders, and innovators, we left feeling energized, encouraged, and deeply aligned with a community rooted in sustainability and local food resilience. This conference wasn’t just an event, it felt like a milestone on our journey as full-time chestnut farmers after over 50 years of combined experience working at Walmart corporate. Stepping away from an office world into regenerative farming has been a leap of faith, but gatherings like this remind us exactly why we made the transition. @nwalocalfoodguide @springcreekfoodhubnwa @caff_ar_farms @uadaafic ChestnutsInTheOzarks.com
We put in a few chestnut trees in the ground today. December isn’t the easiest month to plant, but with the sun out it just felt right. Having the opportunity to plant a new tree that will provide food for generations to come reminds me why I love doing this.

Some of our Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut trees headed out to a customer in Huntsville, Alabama. Just one of many chestnut trees varieties we offer along with chestnuts. Did you know that the Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut is a cousin to the American Chestnut?

I’m sorry, but we’re closed for the night. Deer seem to love chestnuts a little too much and they can’t resist using the trees for rubbing, even when you think they’re big enough to go without their protective tubes.
