Big River Chestnuts

We produce chestnuts and small fruit in an integrated alley crop and silvopasture agroforestry. Sheep grazing under the trees, pollinator meadows, its a beautiful and productive farm along the Connecticut River. Harvests are increasing as we continue to plant and tend the nuts and berries. Our farmstand market with fresh and roasted chestnuts is open on Saturdays from October through November into December as long as supplies last. We host a Chestnut Festival in October every year; 2026 is our 6th year!. Send us an email to be added to our mailing list for farm events and chestnut updates.

We grow using the best practices available – primarily regenerative agroforestry, using biological soil management practices.

Saturdays 10-4, October into December

We offer tours and educational events through the year. We have a seasonal market on fall Saturdays at the farm with roasted and fresh nuts for sale and opportunities to walk the farm, sit by the river, and visit with friends and neighbors. We host the Chestnut Festival yearly the 2nd Saturday in October, drawing people from around the region to celebrate chestnuts, tree crops, and local agriculture.

We will do more pick-you-own fruits and chestnuts in the coming years. Check with us for more infomation
