Chestnut orchard picture of the week
April 11th, 2026
The growing season is about 10 days behind schedule and snow still is present around the farm. We spent some time this week planting peach trees and wrapping up the maple sryup season. A slow warm up in spring is a good as it keeps the chestnut trees dormant while freeze conditions can still occur. We are expecting rain and warmth this week so we are likely to have a fast transition from white to green season…with very short mud season. Stay tuned for weekly updates as we look forward to the October 2026 chestnut harvest!
