Harvesting Chestnuts at Foggy Ridge Farm | From Seedling to Orchard. Join us for a beautiful day in the orchard as we harvest fresh chestnuts from our chestnut trees here at Foggy Ridge Farm! Nestled in the Missouri Ozarks, our chestnut orchard is planted with vigorous seedlings grown from proven chestnut cultivars—and in this video, we’re sharing the story behind our trees, where we sourced our seedlings (and nuts), and why we chose these varieties for flavor, disease resistance, and productivity. Watch as we walk through the orchard, show how we harvest chestnuts by hand, and talk about how these trees have grown and thrived over the years. Whether you're a homesteader, chestnut enthusiast, or just curious about nut tree farming, this video offers insight into small-scale orchard management, cultivar selection, and what makes chestnut season so special. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more videos about farming, chestnuts, and life on Foggy Ridge Farm.
