Our chestnuts are grown in a small chestnut grove is in the heart of the Great Columbia River Basin where almost anything grows with our fresh and abundant water supply. They are in the desert area of central Washington, which was reclaimed for agriculture by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam and establishment of a massive irrigation network in the 1950's to irrigate nearly 500,000 acres.
Our fresh nuts are hand picked, sorted, and graded daily during harvest season to assure a quality product. Our dried nut products are air dried to allow natural starch conversion to carbohydrates for sweetness. We pride ourselves in producing a quality product at a fair price.
The remote location and isolation from any other nut production allows us to produce our chestnuts with minimal spraying of herbicides, no insecticides are used.
