Today is Sept. 29. In a normal year we would have nuts on
the ground today, but this is not a normal year.

Unlike much of the country
the Pacific Northwest has been plagued by an abnormally cool
Spring and Summer which will delay harvest. As a result we
anticipate beginning shipping mid-October. We'll beginning

BirdFest &
Bluegrass
If you're in Ridgefield
Saturday or Sunday Oct. 8 or 9 visit us at
BirdFest
downtown where everyone turns out to welcome fall and the return of
wildlife that make the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge their winter home.
We'll have our dried
products available there, fresh chestnuts (if there are any by
then), and our unique chestnut woodturning. In honor of the
event we've even got chestnut
duck calls. No duck can turn
them down!
DEALING WITH MULTIPLE ALLERGIES?
Many of our
customers deal with gluten intolerance or food allergies on a daily
basis and are thrilled when they discover chestnuts including fresh,
dried and flour. If you have these problems you may want to take a look
at a blog we've discovered that could be helpful in managing your diet.
It's the MFAA Interchange.

Why Buy From
Allen Creek Farm?
Quality --
The best chestnuts are sold directly from the orchard, not in the market.
Our chestnuts are grown and processed under the strict regulations of the
Department of Agriculture. Our licensed commercial kitchen guarantees that
all our processed products meet strict Washington state standards. You
cannot buy a healthier chestnut.
Freshness --
Our fresh chestnuts are harvested nearly every day and refrigerated immediately to assure
freshness. Our commercial fridge has a volume of 1536 cu. ft.
We maintain temperatures of 33 deg. F and humidity levels exceeding 90%.
Value
-- No middle man. You're dealing directly with the growers.
Personal
touch -- At Allen Creek Farm we expect to provide you with a
quality product.
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.
