Every year is different, but start checking facebook or call Pete around mid-September. Chestnuts start falling the end of September to mid October. It’s a very short season, so keep in touch!

Pete would like you to call before coming to our U-Pick Chestnuts events to ensure conditions are good for picking. To set up an appointed time, contact us using the information found in the Contact Us tab.
