Chestnuts are the ultimate in
a healthy gourmet food.

Did you know that 3 of our chestnut buttermilk pancakes contain more fiber than a serving of oatmeal?

We have a licensed commercial kitchen here at the farm and in addition to our fresh nuts in season, dried chestnuts, chestnut flour and our chestnut mixes -- chestnut bisque, chestnut 'n honey cornbread, gluten free chestnut bread mix, gluten free chestnut pancake mix and gluten free chestnut buttery biscuits are available. They're really tasty and aren't available at any supermarket.

We've also put together a combination of our chestnut bisque and chestnut 'n honey cornbread that makes a nice "chestnut supper" gift box -- a great hostess gift that's truly unique.

If you need a gift for someone who is "new" to chestnuts, consider our sampler box. And yes, we also have a gluten free sampler box. If you would like to share a recipe with us it would be greatly appreciated. We're always looking for new and creative ways to use this truly unique food.

NOTICE

Allen Creek Farm does not receive any type of government subsidy for its operation.

Welcome to your one-stop on-line resource for chestnuts, whether it be the chestnuts themselves, or information about them including some of our best chestnut recipes.

Deal directly with the grower and know that the chestnuts and chestnut products you order will be of superior quality to anything you might buy in a supermarket.

We ship directly from our orchard in Ridgefield, WA, to you, anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. We use USPS Priority mail prior to Thanksgiving and also ship UPS from then through December, but if you have special needs we're glad to accommodate.

Need a gift for a group of special employees, good clients, your girlfriend's folks? Nothing says quality more than a custom gift box of fresh chestnuts from Allen Creek Farm. We have corporate gift packs available or can custom tailor one to your specifications.

You'll discover a whole new dimension to gourmet food when you start preparing the many recipes that feature the chestnut. From chestnuts roasted over an open fire to chestnut cheesecake, to chestnut biscotti, to all the others ... there's nothing like cooking with chestnuts. And if you're on a gluten free diet nothing adds a touch of class like cooking with our chestnut flour. To make things even easier for you we have a gluten free chestnut bread mix for your bread machine and a gluten free chestnut pancake mix. And for a mouth watering breakfast treat you've got to try our new Chestnut Buttery Biscuits.

If you're looking for authentic Italian recipes using chestnuts, dried chestnuts and chestnut flour make sure you take a look at our "Recipes from Tuscany" under our "Cooking" section on the menu.
