Chestnuts, Blueberries, Asparagus and More
NJ Nut Farms started our first chestnut trees from seed in our nursery in 2019. We are proud to be the region’s premier chestnut orchard and honored to be helping bring chestnuts back. We use non-toxic, sustainable farming practices to ensure that our crops are free from harmful chemicals. Our first trees were moved from nursery to the orchard field in 2020.
We currently have over 2000 trees growing at our farms in Chesterfield and Medford, New Jersey. Our Spring 2025 planting of 500 trees is a part of the Chestnut Improvement Network breeding program. We are about 75% completed in our planting phase and have additional 15 acres to be planted in Chesterfield. In addition to chestnuts, we also grow asparagus, aronia, blueberries, comfrey, elderberries, pawpaw, and persimmon. Our dream is to grow a diverse perennial farm and reintroduce chestnuts to our region's cuisine.
Stay tuned and watch us grow!
Get your open fires ready for roasting!
Chestnut season can begin as early as mid-Sept. We harvested over 200 pounds of chestnuts in the fall of 2024 and expect that number to grow five-fold for next season! We will begin to take wholesale orders in summer of 2025 for the fall harvest.
In the meantime, we keep busy experimenting with our perennial alley crops. Elderberry, asparagus, comfrey, persimmon and aronia berries all have their places at NJ Nut Farms. Our most recent planting included over 160 pawpaw seedlings at our Medford location. We've grown them from our own seed stock in our tree nursery.
Blueberry season starts by mid June!
Our Two-acre blueberry patch at our Chesterfield farm is open for Pick-Your-Own in the summer. Visit our PYO page for hours and up to date season information. See you in the berry patch!
Family comes first on our farm.
We are a small operation consisting of Farmer/Manager Luke Tarvin and wife, Rachel. Our 5 and 2 year old daughters can often be seen running through the chestnut orchards and picking berries in the summer. As our orchards mature, our business and staff will grow with us.
We are proud to produce crops that promote the health and happiness of our family, our planet and our customers.
