Chestnut season begins in mid-Sept.
We are not able to offer PYO Chestnuts at this time but may in the future when the orchard matures.
In season, you can find our chestnuts at the Burlington County and Bordentown Farmer's Markets. You can also purchase chestnuts at Hlubik's Farmstand in Chesterfield, NJ and at Farm on the Point in Vincentown, NJ. Get your open fires ready for roasting!
All our nuts are harvested fresh and given a warm water bath immediately. The chestnuts then rest in refrigerator until they find their way to our awesome customers. We highly recommend keeping them refrigerated especially if you want them to last until Thanksgiving.
Despite our beloved Christmas song's lyrics, chestnuts are an early fall crop. We finish harvest in mid-October and continue selling until we are out.

When its not chestnut season, we keep busy maintaining our orchards. Pruning, mulching, weeding, and protecting our trees is a year-round job. We also have been experimenting with perennial alley crops. Elderberry, asparagus, comfrey, persimmon and aronia berries all have their places at NJ Nut Farms. Our most recent alley planting includes 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
Make it your End of the School year tradition! 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!

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 15 acres remaining to be planted in Chesterfield. Our dream is to grow a diverse perennial farm and reintroduce chestnuts to our region's cuisine.
Stay tuned and watch us grow!

Family comes first on our farm.
We are a small operation consisting of Farmer/Manager Luke Tarvin and wife, Rachel. Our 6 and 3 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.
