Dunstan Chestnuts Are Back for 2024!

A Chestnut Lover's Dream Come True

Get ready to mark your calendars and prepare your favorite recipes, chestnut enthusiasts! We're thrilled to announce that our beloved Dunstan chestnuts are making their grand comeback for the 2024 season here at Eastover Nut Farm. As a family-owned farm deeply committed to preserving the legacy of American chestnuts, we can hardly contain our excitement to share this news with our cherished community.

Why Dunstan Chestnuts Hold a Special Place in Our Hearts

The Dunstan chestnut isn't just any ordinary nut – it's a symbol of resilience, flavor, and American agricultural heritage. Here's why the return of Dunstan chestnuts is cause for celebration:

Exceptional Flavor and Quality: Dunstan chestnuts are renowned for their sweet, buttery flavor that surpasses that of many other chestnut varieties. Their large size and easy-to-peel nature make them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.

Blight-Resistant Marvel: The Dunstan chestnut represents a triumph of agricultural ingenuity. Developed to resist the devastating chestnut blight that nearly wiped out the American chestnut in the early 20th century, Dunstan chestnuts carry forward the legacy of their American chestnut ancestors.

Crucial for Conservation: By cultivating and promoting Dunstan chestnuts, we're actively participating in the preservation of American chestnut genes. This effort is vital for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the survival of chestnut trees in North America.

What to Expect This Season

As we prepare for the 2024 harvest, here's what you can look forward to:

Premium Quality: Our chemical-free farming practices ensure that every Dunstan chestnut you receive is of the highest quality, bursting with natural flavor.
Sustainable Packaging: In line with our commitment to the environment, we're introducing eco-friendly packaging for our chestnuts this season.
