RC Farms, Inc. grows their Sweet Chestnuts on 17 acres
in McMinnville, in the heart of Oregon's great and fertile Willamette Valley.
When you order from us, you're ordering directly from the grower so you are getting the
chestnuts as fresh as possible.
Sweet Chestnuts have been around for centuries and can be ground into
flour, pureed like potatoes, boiled and sauteed like a vegetable, and used in poultry stuffings, soups, quiches, and desserts.
They're also an excellent snack food!
These nuts have a mealy texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Edible
chestnuts are very perishable. Although if stored in the refrigerator, they can keep for months. By sealing them in airtight
plastic bags and freezing them, they can be kept for over a year. If not harvested and stored, they decay and dry out quickly
and become hard, chalklike, and bony. Do not leave chestnuts in a bowl longer than a day or two, they will become too dry.
If you'd like to get on our mailing list, contact us by phone or e-mail.
Make sure to plan ahead. Once our season arrives, our chestnuts are sold out quickly!
