In November 2024, our team completed a multi-week research trip to Italy where we visited most of the major manufacturers of chestnut harvesting and processing equipment, as well as aggregator/processor operations representing over 1/2 of the country's chestnut throughput. We also got to visit a handful of family operations working in the traditional methods of the mountains, smoke drying chestnuts in stone smokehouses and storing them as year round staple foods. This will be the second webinar dedicated to discussing our learnings from the trip, and the takeaways we're bringing into our facility's design process. There will also be plenty of space for questions/dialogue on what this might mean for the future of chestnut processing in the NE U.S.
