Description

2022 Changes: Because of the overwhelming demand for our excellent genetics, we are selling our seed nuts by you-pick.  https://www.redfernfarm.com/index.php/2022/08/28/you-pick-at-red-fern-farm-2022/

We allow people interested in harvesting for seed to come to our farm to harvest. Maps of where the seed nut trees are located will be provided. You are allowed to gather from any tree.  All nuts harvested before 1:00 PM each day are considered seed nuts and are charged at the rate of $10/pound. There is no limit. After 1:00 PM we allow our culinary customers in to harvest. They pay $3.00 to $3.50/pound but have designated areas where they harvest. Call 319-729-5905 or email kathy@redfernfarm.com to schedule a harvest date. We do allow primitive camping in our groves to facilitate multiple mornings of harvest.

For information about each variety below, please check out the chestnuts category of trees for sale.
