Buy Chestnuts

For our local customers, you might still find our chestnuts at the Community Mercantile and Checkers grocery in Lawrence, at 888 International in Overland Park and the Kansas City Whole Foods markets. Whole Foods stores in the Rocky Mountain region serving Colorado, New Mexico and Utah also have our chestnuts available.

If you purchase chestnuts at your local grocery in December, be sure to check them out while still at the store. Many, many nuts this time of year are already dry or moldy or both. They suffer from bad shipping and bad storage. Ideally, the store will have the nuts in the same cold, humid conditions as mushrooms. Remember they must be refrigerated.

Chestnut Charlie's mails fresh organic chestnuts within the US (excluding WA, OR, CA due to plant quarantine laws). We ship in 5 lb increments using US Postal Service Priority mail flat rate boxes, though the best shipping rates are on orders of 10 lb increments.

+Shipping

We use US Postal Service flat rate boxes which provide the optimal mix of economy and promptness. We ship early in the week to ensure your chestnuts arrive before sitting at a post office over a weekend. Although the USPS is usually reliable and prompt, USPS flat rate postage does not guarantee a delivery date. Please have a backup plan to pick up the package if you are going out of town! Remove the chestnuts from the box and refrigerate promptly upon receipt.

+Wholesale

If you are a bulk chestnut buyer such as a grocer, natural food store or co-op, please email us (chestnutcharlie@gmail.com) and include your expected requirements. Together we will determine the optimal delivery dates, quantities and shipping options.

+Returns & Refunds

If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us (email: chestnutcharlie@gmail.com) within 2 days of receipt. We ask that the chestnuts be returned to us for evaluation. Upon return, we will refund the cost of your order, less shipping.
