We have a licensed commercial
kitchen here at the farm and in addition to our fresh nuts in
season, dried chestnuts, chestnut flour
and our chestnut mixes -- chestnut bisque, chestnut 'n honey cornbread, gluten free chestnut bread mix,
gluten free chestnut pancake mix and gluten free chestnut buttery
biscuits
are available. They're really tasty and aren't available at any supermarket.
We've also put together a combination of our chestnut bisque and
chestnut 'n honey cornbread that makes a nice "chestnut supper" gift
box -- a great hostess gift that's truly unique.
If you need a
gift for someone who is "new" to chestnuts, consider our sampler box.
And yes, we also have a gluten free sampler box. If you would like to share a recipe with us it would be greatly
appreciated. We're always looking for new and creative ways to
use this truly unique food.
