Welcome to Chestnuts in the Ozarks

Our journey into chestnut farming began in 2019 with a mission to bring the highest-quality chestnuts to the community. Today, our thriving chestnut orchard includes over 2,000 chestnut trees, making us proud contributors to the growing chestnut industry and the dedicated chestnut community here in Arkansas.

We specialize in cultivating hardy, blight-resistant chestnut trees that thrive in the rocky, acidic soil of the Ozarks. Our orchard is built on a foundation of sustainable practices, ensuring every tree we grow promotes healthy soil, biodiversity, and a long-lasting legacy for future generations. We’ve sourced over 30 seed varieties, including the renowned Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut, to maintain superior genetics and help preserve this cherished species.

Whether you’re a homesteader, a nature lover, or simply curious about chestnut farming in Arkansas, we’re here to provide resources and products that inspire and educate. From fresh chestnuts to chestnut recipes, and from planting guides to insights on chestnut cultivation, our goal is to share the benefits and joy of this incredible crop.

Brad & Sandy Russell
