We’ll be tabling at Smokey House’s 1st annual Forest & Field Festival, a free community celebration of Vermont’s farms, forests, food, and local partnerships.
This year the 117th Annual Conference of the Northern Nut Growers Association will be held at University of Massachusetts Campus in Amherst, MA. If you’re curious about tree crops and agroforestry, this is a wonderful opportunity to come get immersed! Breadtree will be presenting this year and will also host a field trip to our home farm.
Join Breadtree Farms to learn how they are stewarding 20,000+ food-producing trees and shrubs — including chestnut, hickory, oak, seaberry, apple, pear, mulberry, and persimmon — in orchards grazed by sheep and cattle. Together, we’ll tour their multi-function landscapes, hear about their ongoing research projects and learn about their mission to bolster food sovereignty and security, while fostering healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, and sequestering carbon.

For current and aspiring chestnut growers - come dive into the details of the processing facilities we visited on our November 2024 research trip to Italy.
Our team recently returned from a three week research trip to Italy and we learned a lot! We’ll report on our trip, share key takeaways we’re bringing to our facility’s design process, and dialogue about the future of chestnut processing in the U.S. We’re hosting two sessions so that everyone who’s expressed interest can make it live, and we’ll send out a recording for those who can’t.
Save the date for the 4th Annual Chestnut Festival @ Big River Chestnuts in Sunderland, MA! More details to come, always a good time.
