Chestnuts, Berries, Asparagus and More
Chestnuts, Berries, Asparagus and More
NJ Nut Farms began planting our first chestnut trees from seed in our nursery in 2019. We are proud to be the region’s premier chestnut orchard complete with tree nursery, and perennial alley crops. We use sustainable farming practices to ensure that our crops are healthy and free from harmful chemicals. We have been field planting chestnut trees since 2020. We currently have over 2000 at our farms in Chesterfield and Medford, New Jersey. We are about 50% completed in our planting phase. Our dream is to become the chestnut supplier of the northeast. In a few years we plan to offer Pick Your Own Chestnuts. Stay tuned and watch us grow!
Get your open fires ready for roasting!
Chestnut season can begin by 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. We inherited them from the previous owner, Honeybrook Organic Farms, and have been taking good care of them so that now you can come enjoy them, too!
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.
