Join us for our final Tour & Tasting of the season.

A low-fat, high-starch food, chestnuts are unlike other tree nuts. Their texture resembles a hard cheese rather than a typical nut crunch. Techniques to grow and harvest the spiny treat are a great reason to visit the September event.

Featuring Bill Davison, Savanna Institute, Chestnut Commercialization
Rain date: September 28
